This article discusses the phenomenon of burnout among AI advocates, particularly in software development, where excessive code generation by AI tools creates cognitive debt and context-switching fatigue. Drawing parallels to Eliyahu Goldratt's 'The Goal,' it argues that unmanaged AI acceleration leads to excess inventory of code, maintenance liabilities, and mental exhaustion. The piece highlights how neurodivergent individuals may be especially affected, and warns that over-reliance on AI without addressing bottlenecks results in projects abandoned due to overwhelming complexity. It connects technical debt to cognitive debt, emphasizing security and performance risks.
