    Makes sense, even if it’s not good practice.

    It is really useful for hobby projects! I needed a recursive function to find a path between two nodes in a graph and it wrote me something that worked with my data in a few seconds, saved a bit of time

        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
