I find that code way too fun to write to let someone or something else do it for me 😂

Actual time spent micromanaging the AI until it produces the perfect code may or may not exceed writing the code yourself.

That’s fair, and if I were getting paid for it I’d do the same! But it’s for a project that’s essentially a pomodoro timer 😆 so it’s harder to justify the time
