Yeah, I have never understood the over reliance on AI. Writing the code is not the challenge. The time it takes to push a new feature and test it out is often trivial, maybe a few hours.
The real challenge is forming the new ideas in the first place and most of those new ideas coming either from using the code as a product or time spent maintaining and refactoring large code.
Anyways, if you want to continue on the path towards regaining control and take it to the next level I wrote something similar here: <a href="https://blog.sharefile.systems/be-brave-go-low/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.sharefile.systems/be-brave-go-low/
Wriring the code is not the challenge, but it's what was taking up most of the time. Not the typing itself, but also because I had to think of how to implement it.
Now I can just say "add 2FA" and in 5 minutes, while I test something else, it is done.
It also made iterations a lot faster, you can try something out, see how it feels, if it doesn't work, you can just trash all the code and start again.
If the problem and implementation is so well defined, and "determnistic", this means that LLMs should also be able to just "write code" from specs, without thinking.

I believe "writing the code" means literally just "writing the code" not thinking how to implement it.
