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

AI coding tools promise to make development faster, easier, and more accessible. But if AI removes the struggle from programming, can it also remove some of the satisfaction?

In this episode, Matt and Mike discuss the human side of AI-assisted development:

- Why AI coding can reduce burnout at the task level
- How managing multiple AI agents creates a new kind of mental strain
- Whether AI-generated work still feels like your own
- Why reviewing code may be less satisfying than writing it
- How personal projects can help developers rediscover their enthusiasm
- Why Mike is experimenting with trusting AI-generated code more—within reason

AI can help developers accomplish more than ever, but finding a sustainable workflow may be just as important as maximizing productivity.

What has AI coding done to your enjoyment of development? Let us know in the comments.
