Ask HN: Engineers working AI tools. Are you working more or less?

By: taariqlewis

Curious whether AI tooling are making engineers more productive with more free time or more productive with even less free time.

AI made us 10x more productive. Management noticed. Now we are expected to ship 10x more features.

The free time was a lie we told ourselves.

No question. I am far more productive because it lets me get to the answers I need far faster.

I'm more of a iterative solver rather than someone who tries to solve it all into their head the first go. And ai tools are perfect for that kind of approach.

I stopped using AI for projects that I care about. For projects that I don't care about—absolutely, I am working way less.
