If you're an engineer who uses AI daily - for design reviews, code generation, debugging, documentation, architecture decisions - and you've noticed that you're somehow more tired than before AI existed, this post is for you.

In practice, I find myself using this trick a lot more on SVG icons than with bouncing balls, so that's what we'll focus on in this tutorial.
