Developers Are Exhausted by AI Coding

After using AI coding tools professionally and personally, Brett Codes says he is done. His viral video and blog post describe feeling detached from his work, less engaged with programming, and increasingly anxious about the future of his career. This anxious feeling is common in tech and software engineering spaces today as LLMs invade what was once a complex and manual job that required dedication and practice to learn. Matt and Mike discuss why that story resonates with exhausted developers, the pressure companies place on teams to adopt AI, whether opting out is realistic, and what happens if hand-written code becomes a niche craft.
