    I’ve tried (and still try) to find good workflows using AI, but I don’t think I’ve found anything that saves time. To get the same quality using AI, I have to go back and forth with it a lot, and review all the bloated bullshit it generates. If you don’t care about quality or the thing even working correctly (e.g. prototypes/POCs), it’s really fast.

      Then you’re doing something very wrong. I’m yet to be convinced about AI coding for long lived projects, but for throwaway scripts, visualisations, one-off conversions and basically anything that doesn’t need to be maintained long term it absolutely saves a mountain of time.

      Stick your head in the sand all you like…

        I already covered that in my last sentence. Those things aren’t the things that take the bulk of the time, in my experience; I guess other peoples jobs are different. Generally, everything I write needs to maintained long term, or at least until the company goes under.

        You aren’t prompting right, bruh. You need to be very good at writing markdown to leverage Ayy-Eye properly.

        You aren’t using the latest and the greatest model, bruh. Have you tried Claude Fairy Tale 6.9.420?
