New ask Hacker News story: Fear of Missing Code
Fear of Missing Code
3 by lukol | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Talking to developer (and increasingly non-developer) friends of mine, the following pattern has emerged: 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. Letting your agent do its thing fully unsupervised only works in few scenarios and reviewing (or at least: QA-ing) the countless things that were built while you were spending time with your friends / family / pets is mentally taxing. How are you handling this?
