@sociallyinfluenced.dd: Nobody warns you that building with AI is a slot machine. It pays out, so you pull it again, and then it's 8pm and you haven't been outside or heard another person's voice. That's not passion, it's the same wiring as a game you can't quit, wearing a work costume. So I fight for the rest of my life on purpose now: real conversations, dirt under my nails, more time outside than in. And that's where the business comes back to life, never from one more pull. If you're building with these tools, chase your life as hard as you chase the product. (I build Ideafetti, and even that runs better when I log off.) Why does building with AI feel so addictive? How do founders avoid burnout while using AI tools? How do you stay connected to your life while building a startup?
