Working without stopping points isn't productivity.
It's burnout with better output.
You can't outwork burnout. You have to design around it.

Each one requires custom auth code. Weeks of work. Security reviews.
This identity gap is strangling enterprise AI.
Agents need first-class identities, not user masquerades.

2025: 'How well can we orchestrate AI?'
Developers aren't writing every line anymore.
They're directing agents. Reviewing outputs. Making judgment calls.
The bottleneck shifted.

76% remain in a confidence red zone.
The gap? Mismatched expectations.
AI is a paintbrush for broad strokes. The last 20% needs a scalpel.

1. Decide what you want before writing
2. Teach AI your voice with examples
3. Prep meetings with 3 questions
Which one are you trying?
Small changes. Big differences.

Right question: 'How does my AI fail gracefully?'
Resilience. Observability. Scalability.
The Production Triangle separates demos from deployments.

Amazon figured this out: small autonomous teams ship faster.
AI-native 2-Pizza Teams: 4-6 people, single owner, AI + data + product in one unit.
6 weeks to production, not 6 months.

Also 3x more burned out.
ADHD hyperfocus + AI = 6-hour sprints with no stopping point.
Then I crash for 3 days.
Your tools need circuit breakers. So does your brain.

Then I realized every AI app follows the same pattern:
Input → Process → Output
Email summaries. Content generation. Code review.
Same structure. Different prompts.

I can hyperfocus with Claude for 6 hours straight. Then crash for 3 days.
Do you burn out FASTER or SLOWER with AI tools?
Reply: FASTER / SLOWER / SAME

Afternoon: 'Looks good, ship it.'
Trust doesn't build linearly. It decays with fatigue.
Schedule your AI verification for when you're sharp.
