AI Coding Makes Development Easier - So Why Are We Burning Out?

AI coding tools can make developers faster, remove tedious work, and help us build things that once felt out of reach. So why can using them still leave us feeling drained? In this episode, Matt and Mike explore the complicated relationship between AI coding and developer burnout. They discuss losing the satisfaction of solving difficult problems, the mental cost of managing multiple AI workflows, whether AI-generated work still feels like your own, and why reviewing code can be more exhausting than writing it. They also share ways developers can build a healthier relationship with AI - from finding meaningful personal projects to testing strategically and creating a workflow that doesn’t require reviewing every generated line. ‍Show Notes: https://www.htmlallthethings.com/podcast/ai-coding-makes-development-easier-so-why-are-we-burning-out Use our Scrimba affiliate link (https://scrimba.com/?via=htmlallthethings) for a 20% discount!!
