Developers report that AI agents can produce fully-tested, documented projects in less than an hour, compared with what previously took weeks of careful, incremental development.
Some users find the low-friction, rapid reward cycle of AI tools problematic: they spawn numerous abandoned projects with little commitment to outcomes, functioning as a "thermonuclear ADHD amplifier" that scatters focus across multiple unrelated efforts.
Others, particularly people with ADHD, report the opposite effect: AI agents help them finish side projects for the first time by maintaining engagement and providing sustained focus they previously lacked.
