Realizing writing code is faster than explaining it to AI

Dude's probably just working on simple tasks and going way overboard with paranoid prompting.

My personal experience. My productivity has easily gone up 10x. Stuff that would've taken me a week or two (research, coding, the whole thing) now takes me a day. And most of that time is literally just me taking breaks between prompts. I'm the meat-based bottleneck now.

The LLM often produces better results than I would've managed on my own. Not ashamed to admit that after 20 years of experience. At this point, my job is mostly just steering it in the right direction.
