You have to make or use just enough productivity tools not to fall behind, but otherwise it's a trap. I used to check once a quarter. With AI, I devote 1-2 days a week to the meta-task of improving my tooling, but I'm sure that will fade once AI tooling becomes more standardized. It's not worth being one of those guys who gets too into the tools, because it can keep you from the actual valuable work. Plus, you are then judged not as a regular engineer, but as a person who is supposed to have some secret productivity sauce, and when people see that it doesn't make more of a difference they can start to discount your opinion. |
