### AI overview

The article argues that AI-assisted development can increase coding speed while imposing a heavy cognitive burden on developers. It describes mental fatigue, constant context-switching, rigorous review responsibilities, and concerns that dependence on AI may weaken deep-thinking and coding skills.

### Source excerpt

AI promised to turn every developer into a 10x machine--but instead, it's quietly frying our brains. We're shipping faster than ever while thinking less, reviewing more, and losing the focus that made us good in the first place. The real cost of AI isn't in the code--it's in what it's doing to our minds.
