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/

As opposed to writing a prompt for 30s, then doing something else for 15m while the AI works on it? :)

Exactly.
AI is absolutely excellent at rapid prototyping. Prompt -> result -> use the product -> prompt. Repeat until the right design emerges. Once that happens, the code can be cleaned up, or even rewritten from the grounds up, taking into account what was learned.
