Although I don't come from programming per se, but from the civil engineering area, AI has been a real boost and an addictive tool to dismember and try to understand at its core. It tends to make you believe you are above your own capacities and that everything now will be easier.

But the truth is, at least in my case, that by trying to keep myself humble and really testing the barriers and limitations of these tools, it makes me realize that it is not only that the AI is limited in its capacities, but myself. And trying to run through the rabbit hole at the fastest pace possible, I realized I was getting brain burn (difficult to sleep, to talk, to join ideas; I was getting more irritable).

So the first thing I did was delete the coding app from my phone. I try to keep the coding and investigating stuff to office hours. I'm going outside, getting back to the gym, to sports, and not reading or watching any YouTube or podcasts on the subject on Sundays, etc. It's still very hard, to be honest. But clearing my mind makes me see new approaches in a clearer way.
