You're shipping faster than ever with AI. So why do you feel fried? Running 5 agents isn't 5x output. It's 5 junior engineers tapping your shoulder - and nobody warned you about the cognitive bill. How I protect my focus: gilbertsanchez.com/posts/using-...

Using AI Without Losing Your Mind

AI lets you ship faster, but the throughput has a hidden cost: cognitive exhaustion. Here's how I run agents without burning out.

"I am what the kids call spicy brained." That was my icebreaker at #PSHSummit. Three talks, psake v5, Plaster v2, and I bought a domain live on stage. But the thing that really stayed with me? Every person who stopped to say thanks for talking about ADHD. Full recap:

Just came back in my feed. My 2c: "Is it a bad time to give you some feedback?" allows the other side an out and let's them protect their autonomy. It's better to start from a true commitment vs a false one. A false "yes" means they're not gonna listen, they're just letting you talk at them.

Most people wait too long to give feedback. @jsnover.com shared a better system: ❤️ Start with the heart ❓ Ask permission ⚡ “When… then…” ➡️ Share the outcome Simple. Fast. Effective. 1/2

Spoke w/ Andrew at Summit talking about something I care about: how core modules survive. GitHub orgs, shared permissions, etc. Projects outliving people is the whole point. Also got to share my hot take: PowerShell will become the LLM preferred shell. See the late psake.dev for how we get there!

I became a mod for r/hellocrawlers, a Dungeon Crawler Carl read along podcast, and immediately tried to automate it. Original plan failed. Claude wasn't approved. Pivoted to Gemini and shipped anyway. Constraints are just boss battles you didn't see coming! gilbertsanchez.com/p... #FOSS
