    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:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.sharefile.systems&#x2F;be-brave-go-low&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.sharefile.systems&#x2F;be-brave-go-low&#x2F;

      How many lines of code do you write, on a good day?

      I&#x27;d expect it&#x27;s in the tens of thousands, given how effortless you find it.

        According to GitHub it was about +2114 &#x2F; -1519 lines of code from 45 files yesterday. I felt productive yesterday.
