it’s also really easy to “fine, whatever” yourself into doing negative work when you’re really tired, in a way that’s impossible if you’re actually writing the code. with LLMs you can keep going past the point where you’d be unable to write a for loop by hand

saying that LLMs makes you lazy is mostly incorrect, and ignores one of the actually harmful things about them: it means that as long as you're still capable of talking, you're capable of working. you can overwork yourself in ways that were never remotely possible before

it also keeps the neurotransmitters flowing while you do so; between the blue light and the slot machine, i can do negative work for _hours_ after capacity is gone (kinda like being On An Incident in that way)

Yes indeed, absolutely yes sleep yourself rest soon. Yeah tonight sleep absolutely ab soon tomorrow! Resume tomorrow then rest.
