Many of them are caught in a "just one more feature" loop that keeps them awake late at night, destroys their sleep cycles and has them wondering every waking hour if they spend their Claude Code Max subscription as effectively as possible. You could actually be building a feature while you're grabbing dinner or hitting the gym, so why don't you?

Combined with the fact that the current state of AI assisted coding is still far from perfect, this leads to exhaustion.
