AI promised efficiency. Instead, it’s making us work harder. AI tools were supposed to free up our time—but they’re increasing our cognitive load and making us less productive. Here’s what’s really happening (and how to use them without burning out).

AI was supposed to make us more efficient.

Instead, it’s fragmenting our workflows, bloating our calendars, and burning out high performers.

I wrote about the false promise of AI productivity and why we’re actually working harder than ever:

Every time Gradle posts a major release plugins get borked.

Every. Single. Time.

Sometimes even on minor, and patch releases. All just to shave a few nano seconds from build times.

I wonder why I even bother with this broken build tool 🙄😓😡

Stability vs innovation
Probably maven and gradle went too far on each side respectively but I still prefer the stability for a build tool because it’s clearly not on it I should dedicate a huge amount of time the value and thus my time should be spent on the app.

Most AWS accounts have a lot of unneeded resources provisioned in them which can really add up to a lot of $$$s on your bill. It can be a challenge to track down a lot of these or to right size your configurations. (1/3)

Vue la mise à jour faite il y a quelques semaines sur Jira et confluence ils méritent les premiers rangs.

One of the most surprising learning for me is that LLMs are *not* a good fit for generating + maintaining SDKs (from eg one language to another) due to their non-deterministic nature!

BUT can be a good fit to help build the automated tooling that generates the SDKs from a spec:

Bye-bye VirtualBox!

Some tools force you to learn a complicated API and require constant maintenance.

Other tools... just work, and that's why it's easy to overlook them.

@openfeature.dev is one of those tools.

Do I use it daily? Yes.
Do I ever have to think about it? No.

The distinction between disposable code and durable code is insightful, and so is the notion that disposable code can eventually become durable code.
