When AI codes, what should developers do?

Scott Basson, a staff software engineer at Medium, said developers should avoid starting another coding loop while AI is coding because it can lead to burnout. He said AI tools sharply raised his productivity, but he took on more work and burned out faster. Basson said he changed course by reading more deeply, proposing pair work and writing regularly, which improved collaboration and helped turn AI-enabled productivity into useful results.
