I agree with a lot of things in this video. Great video @tolin.ski I do sometimes feel like if I'm not running five agents 24/7, checking things on my phone, I'm not really productive. I'm not good at multitasking. End of story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPUn... #claude #ai

A recent video from @tolin.ski asking how AI coding is affecting our mental health got me thinking why I haven't felt severe negative impact in my work. The culprit is in the way I have worked before AI was a thing, and how I work today. Full story in my blog.👇🏻 nikoheikkila.fi/blog/healthc...

Research into AI coding and mental health made me ask why coding itself has never burned me out, and what healthy ways of working look like. Let's find out!

Can definitely attest to all of the points made in the video. We are simply not meant to consume this much information, sit in one place and glue our eyes to a screen for so long. Digital dementia may not be a medical term yet, but it is real and AI usage left unchecked is only making it worse.

If you have a developer education budget at work, I would really encourage you to use it on your favourite developer educators. A lot of us are deciding whether or not to keep doing this stuff, and that support would help send a signal that we should keep going. ❤️
