Engineers report AI-driven burnout as decision load replaces coding work

Indigo (@indigox) says AI has made execution cheap but decisions expensive, compressing two weeks of iteration into half a day while leaving engineers with a denser stream of choices.

He cites @turingou saying many engineers now finish one or two years of work in two or three months and then burn out. Indigo concludes the scarce skill is deciding what to build and what not to build, not writing code. These are the posts' own claims; the report gives no survey data or measured burnout rates.
