Your estimation maybe right, but maybe also there is a point on why it is right: https://neilmadden.blog/2025/06/06/a-look-at-cloudflares-ai-...

Maybe because (and I'm quoting that article) it is still lacking in what it should have that you managed to accomplish this task in "few days" instead of "a few weeks, maybe months".

Maybe the bottleneck was not your typing speed, but the [specific knowledge] to build that system. Because if you know something well enough, you can build it way faster, like rebuilding something from scratch, you will be faster as you already know the paths. In which case, my question would be: would not be writing this as fast, or maybe at least more secure and reasonable, if you had the complete knowledge of the system first.

Because contrary to LLMs, humans can actually improve and learn when they do things, and they don't whey they don't do things. Not knowing the code to the full extent is worth the time "gained" by using the LLM to write it?

I think it's very hard to estimate those other aspects of the thing.
