You’re Using Too Much AI - And It’s Hurting Your Work

Everyone online is bragging about running 50, 100, even 500 AI agents at once - but is any of that actually making the work better? In this episode Matt and Mike unpack the growing trend of “agent overload” and why more AI doesn’t always mean better results. From losing context in your codebase to creating fragile, overcomplicated systems, we explore how chasing scale with AI can quietly hurt your productivity. Instead of spinning up endless agents, the real opportunity might be slowing down and focusing - using AI to go deeper, not wider. If you’ve ever felt like your workflow is getting noisier instead of more effective, this episode is for you. Show Notes: Use our Scrimba affiliate link ( ) for a 20% discount!!
