I can do a project that took me weeks/months much faster now as long as I don't have to involve other people in the decisions.
I should frame this for the wall behind me when I run meetings with my team. It’s the core problem with AI in coding.
Even projects that you could have done without having to look anything up?
In my experience, it seems to mostly save time on things you don't really know that well, whilst depriving you of the chance to learn new things.
I feel like this was always true to an extent, now product and design are just more tolerant of it because leadership is cracking a whip over their heads because things are supposed to be much faster “because ai” so things like pixel perfect hand offs, adhering to existing design system, making sure you are aligned with the brand, copy is reviewed with marketing go out the window. Now everything is shipping in hackathon mode with an eng driving decisions they really should not be.
