    To each their own I suppose. By which I mean maybe the author enjoys different parts of coding than you do. Trying to wrangle AI into writing something decent is generally an exercise in frustration for me. But I enjoy architecting and figuring out how to define units of work that are small and self-contained enough to get AI to understand.

    I’ve been mulling over what kinds of architectural changes might make it easier for AI to be able to contribute. That’s a puzzle I find interesting in the same way I enjoy other programming problems.

      It seems to me like the part of coding the author enjoys least is coding.

      This is my issue with it. The output of these tools, unchecked, evolves into something abysmal over time. I find it quicker to just rewrite the output than to try to prompt it over and over again to produce something good.
