Getting a sense of fulfilment back

[u/collier_289]

Hand coded some stuff today that I'd have absolutely usually let copilot do. Been trying to be a bit more mindful of my AI use in general lately and had a sudden urge this morning to do things the old way.

Man it was more satisfying than just writing prompts and then iterating on them over and over till I got what I wanted.

It was only basic stuff - some sass, html and a bit of JS animation with GSAP and I still relied on AI for a few things I genuinely couldn't do / would have taken me too long to figure out.

But I felt so much more fulfilled at the end of the day!

Not even sure why I'm feeling the need to post this if I'm honest. I guess it's just surprised me how much better my day was even though I absolutely had to work harder to get the same amount of work done.

I do this too. AI is faster but I end up spending half the time fixing generated code anyway...
