## AI sped up coding, but made code review more exhausting A developer says AI has been great for output while coding, but the real cost is mental fatigue at the end of the day. Instead of solving one problem directly, they now spend more energy reviewing pages of generated code and trying to convince themselves it is correct. The post frames this as either a trust problem or information overload, and asks whether others are seeing the same thing. It is essentially a workflow question about how to manage AI-assisted coding without turning review into the most draining part of the job.
