Oct 14, 2026, 12:14 AMI spent all day with Claude doing tons of boiler plate code. This is stuff that's 95% brain dead simple parsing JSON with very well defined patterns. Basically all I was doing is telling it what I needed added, answering questions on the 5% stuff (nothing complex) and reviewing. Method by method, class by class.
I'm so damned mentally fried now. Feels just like if I had spent all day fighting with some multi-threading Apple framework bug and failing to fix it.
Oct 14, 2026, 1:00 AM@paul AI chaperoning is mentally exhausting. It drags you along at its own pace, which is hostile to the human mind.
@paul How do you would have felt if you did it yourself without the AI?
Oct 14, 2026, 2:35 AM@OberstKrueger probably wouldn’t have finished everything in one day and would probably be less tired today.
Oct 14, 2026, 2:10 AM@paul I’m curious if you feel this was faster or not worth it.
Oct 14, 2026, 2:32 AM@jason I’m sure faster. It was a lot of code.
@paul Even with automation, there’s still a lot of code to keep track of mentally.
@paul my goal when I program is to write less code, because the code I don’t write has no bugs…
