I feel like I've been incredibly productive with AI assisted programming over the past few weeks, but it's hard to know what folks' baselines are. So in the interest of transparency, I pushed it all up to sourcehut and added Co-Authored-By footers to the AI-assisted commits (almost all of them).

Everything is out there to inspect, including the facts that I:

- was going 12-18 hours per day

- stayed up way too late some nights

- churned a lot (+91,034 -39,257 lines)

- made a lot of code (30,637 code lines, 11,072 comment lines, plus 4,997 lines of markdown)

- ended up with (IMO) pretty good quality Ruby (and unknown quality Rust).

This is all just from the first commit to v0.8.0. https://git.sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/tree/v0.8.0

What do you think: is this fast, or am I just as silly as the live-streamer?

P.S. - I had an edge here because it was a green-field project and it was not for my job, so I had complete latitude to make decisions.

I don't really know Ruby, so maybe I'm missing something major, but your commit messages seem extremely verbose yet messy (I can't make heads or tails of them) and I'm seeing language like "deprecated" and a stream of "releases" within a period of hours and it just looks a bit like nonsense.

Don't take "nonsense" negatively, please -- I mean it looks like you were having fun, which is certainly to be encouraged.
