One of the reasons they exhaust me, is that it's always "one more prompt" to get a UI correct. It's often just slightly off, but it can take 5-10 mins sometimes to rework something. It has led to me working much longer hours.

I think this is in part because I am one of the software engineers that always liked building products more than writing complex software. So, I am driven by the feeling of creating something. And I want to get the feature perfect and complete. But getting from 95%->100% done can take a long time with UI work for me.

So I work much longer hours now, unfortunately.

It's a bit paradoxical to use AI to increase productivity, and then feel the need to work longer hours to fully actualize said productivity.

But it's probably a common feeling. I wonder if we'll see an increased number of people burn out in the serious, medical sense.

Perhaps do the last 5% yourself?

[sefrost]

You're right, I should!

Main blocker is I am using apps like Conductor and have lots of plates spinning at once. But that's on, me and I should try and start completing the last part myself.

This is what I do as I have learnt after much frustration.

Maybe when they get better at making SVGs of pelicans riding bicycles, they'll also get better at making UIs that can be reworked into sensible form without too much effort.
