Thats interesting. While i do get mentally tired after a session of focused coding, i feel like i have accomplished something. Using AI for coding feels similar to spending hours doom scrolling reels. Less engaging but Im drained as hell at the end.

I'd argue you still have to stay engaged, if not more-so. Its a different type of engagement. Look at you: You're the CTO now.

It's hard to be engaged when you are constantly jumping from one thing/prompt to another vs you are actually doing the work.
