Coding agents make every idea '10 minutes away' — until burnout hits
feregri_no · x · 2026-10-21
Developer feregrino reflects on life with coding agents: what used to slow him down (slow coding) is gone, and it turns out that brake was his own schedule. AI doesn't take your work away — it takes away your excuse to stop.
He describes the state as feeling like excitement rather than burnout, until one day you don't want to open the terminal. Per his earlier post, AI made him overwork: with code agents every idea feels 10 minutes from existing, but there's always another idea 10 minutes away.
