Just yesterday I noticed I was mentally EXHAUSTED after building out a feature with Claude Code.
I actually had to think really, really hard to keep up with the idiot savant as it cranked out code.
Correctness was extremely important for this feature. Claude would consistently make subtle mistakes, and I needed to catch them to keep things from going off the rails. I could have done it myself, but it would have taken MUCH longer.
I essentially compressed a week’s worth of work into a few hours, and my brain paid the price.
So yeah. You can use AI to replace your thinking, or you can use it to push yourself to your max potential.
- svieira 8mo agoSo today are you doing it again? Or did you compress a week's worth of work into a few hours and the rest of the week is shot because you don't expand?
- jkkramer 8mo agoI did do it again, and spent time figuring out how to do it even more. The cool thing though is that I could have chosen to do something else, too. I’m not at a loss for fulfilling, productive things to do. AI won’t change that.
