AI Programming Leads to Burnout

Recently, I’ve been intensively using AI programming to advance the development of the Mo Mei Blog.

As a result, I’ve also come to realize the limitations of AI programming.

Over the past few months, after the initial excitement about the efficiency gains from AI programming wore off, I’ve instead felt a strong sense of burnout.

This burnout stems from multiple factors.

First, AI programming does save time on coding, and the efficiency improvements in this area are very noticeable.

However, in programming—or software work in general—coding itself doesn’t actually take up that much time. Readers who are programmers themselves will likely understand this better.

In project development, coordinating with others, planning solutions, and attending meetings are the most time-consuming tasks. Once the plan is finalized, the actual implementation is usually relatively quick.

Therefore, when AI improves coding efficiency, programmers are then expected to take on more responsibilities beyond coding, such as making technical decisions, reviewing code changes, and providing debugging information.

As AI’s coding speed increases, it also demands more decisions from programmers, which is highly draining.

For example, in the past, you might have made one technical decision a day. But now, AI can churn out 10 solutions in minutes and keep adding new ones periodically. For programmers, this consumes far more energy than before.

Moreover, because current AI systems are often unreliable (note: this isn’t due to AI being “not smart enough” but rather the inherent complexity of software engineering), human oversight is still needed to correct the course and steer AI in the right direction. This also adds to the mental toll. (The result of fully relying on AI programming is projects like OpenClaw becoming “code spaghetti.”)

So, the more you use AI, the more mentally exhausted you become.

Additionally, since the time AI takes to complete programming tasks is somewhat unpredictable, many people use that time to multitask, checking back intermittently to see if the work is done. The result is divided attention, where neither task gets the focus it deserves, further exacerbating energy drain.

Another side effect is that when programmers code manually, they take breaks when tired. But when AI is coding, they might wait for the results before resting. (Of course, you could choose to sleep and check the results later, which is slightly better.)

In summary, even when using AI programming, it’s important to take breaks—after all, your health is the most important thing.
