Software engineers burning out thanks to using AI coding tools is becoming a major problem I don't see anyone talk about all that much. There's some "vampire effect" in these tools, and it drains a lot of devs.
This video by @stolinski is a very good and important one, to start:
This is the most important video I've ever made.
In this, I explore the negative and positive mental health effects of AI coding, with data and expert commentary.

F*cking annoying that both Spotify and YT take over the links you share in other apps. Messaged a YT link to a friend and YT app notified me that some kid i don’t know accepted the chat. Panicked and had to ask my friend if it’s him. Turns out it’s a friend of his kid
It's wild that you can now tweak your coding agents to your liking. Just like you can tweak your terminal.
At least Claude Code. You have prompts, hooks, plugins, status line, commands, sub agents at your disposal.
Why do devs always overcomplicate?
Like for example with vibe coding. First they can't prompt properly and get bad results. Then they solve the problem by generating 1K lines monster prompts with AI and feed it back to AI and think they will get good results.
Never works
LLMs are super expensive to train but how much does it cost to run inference on them? Are there any known examples or guesses of the actual average monthly costs?
Sometimes when I talk to people I think about what medieval cloth they would wear and what their trade would be
Yes we live in an AI bubble but many don't realize how much AI helped propell surrounding technologies and design forward.
AI forced web frameworks to become good at streaming and realtime.
UI and UX changed. Voice and image over textboxes, smart loaders, etc
Damn YT's algos are good. I came to look up a specific thing only to stay watching random videos for 20 minutes. And then I tried to remember what I actually came for
Is cloud for rich companies or poor companies?
Cloud costs $$$ but if you are rich you can build your own private "cloud" that will be much cheaper than THE cloud.
So what type of companies is the cloud good for?
