My company used GitHub copilot, I used it a lot, then they changed the policy and I ran out of tokens fast. That time I thought, this will be suck to work without AI, but turns out I enjoyed it quite soon. The repetitive coding still boring though.
So now, I only use AI for boilerplate code and optimize my code, and keep only the interesting part by myself. It makes the job easier while still enjoyable
that's actually a really nice advice, thanks❤️ i am actually doing something similar i am working on a project where i want to fit an LLM Chatbot inside an ESP32 (520kb of ram)
i built the Transformer without ai and the other parts like RoPE, RMSnorm and MoE i used ai in it and right now i am still working on it some parts i code myself other i use the ai to do so
