The cognitive cost of AI coding

Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer, and it is mentally exhausting. I can fire up like 4 agents in parallel and have them work on 4 different problems. And by 11:00 AM, I am wiped out for the day because there is a limit on human cognition in how much, even if you're not reviewing everything they're doing, just how much you can hold in your head at one time. There's a sort of personal skill that we have to learn, which is finding our new limits. What is a responsible way for us to not burn out and for us to use the time that we have. A lot of people are losing sleep because they're like, my coding agents could be doing work for me. I'm just going to stay up an extra half hour and set off a bunch of extra things. And they're waking up at 4 in the morning. That's obviously unsustainable.
