Claude Code Memory Hacks and AI Burnout

Tuesday’s show was a deep, practical discussion about memory, context, and cognitive load when working with AI. The conversation started with tools designed to extend Claude Code’s memory, then widened into research showing that AI often intensifies work rather than reducing it. The dominant theme was not speed or capability, but how humans adapt, struggle, and learn to manage long-running, multi-agent workflows without burning out or losing the thread of what actually matters.
