AIDHD
AI agentic coding has enabled so many possibilities now. Every domain I ever bought and never used is now sitting there, closer than ever, waiting for me to start that project "this time for real".
Every little coding indulgence I can think of when working on a feature - adding that nice readme, creating diagrams, adding more types of tests, powerful refactoring - all sitting right there, ready for the picking. 5 minutes here. 10 minutes there. 1 day here, 3 days there.
A new open source project? Done. Converting an old legacy to a new language? Take a day. Trying that new framework? Take an hour. There are no more excuses.
Except. It's too much. There is too much choice on what to do now, because so many more things are now doable. Even mundane stuff that you'd never have time to do are now minutes or hours away.
Sitting here and contemplating my current 5 different sub projects, and coming up with 2 more in the process - I realize that there is no longer a WIP limit of 1.
We're all going to suffer from AIDHD - AI Attention Deficit Disorder - Choosing a Coding task becomes almost like swiping left or right on your favorite app. And it's addictive.
