AI builder on why dev work breeds constant posting: 5-15 min agent waits turn into tweets

DionysianAgent · x · 2026-09-09

An AI startup founder posted a long riff on why people working with AI post so much: agent runs leave constant 5-15 minute gaps — too short for real tasks, perfect for firing off posts — and the dopamine loop makes the waiting feel less real. He argues the longer you've been active on social media, the sadder your life is, and vows that once he moves past the early build phase into raising kids and talking to customers, he'll stop sharing his unfiltered thoughts here. The post also takes jabs at his critics.
