The description of working with AI tools really resonates with me. It's dangerous to work on my codebase when I'm tired, since I don't feel like doing it properly, so I play slots with Claude, and stay up later than I should. I usually come back later and realize the final code that gets generated is an absolute mess.

It is really good for getting up to speed with frameworks and techniques though, like they mentioned.

You should take advantage of these states of cognitive exhaustion by asking Claude to document and explain the codebase to you, and checking whether it still makes sense. If there are things that you have trouble understanding in that state, make a note of them to check later whether they can be simplified.

Or, you know, rest :-)

No, it's much better for the business magnates if you spend all your short lifespan on solving problems every waking hour. Don't worry about experiencing your life, you need to generate value!

Same for me. What I liked about the article was the emphasis on the mental model. Staying up late using the a lot machine is not helping me to remember the model better
