I know the feeling. I still wonder though, am I faster? Do I understand what I’ve made as well as I used to? What have I learned? How did the experience benefit me? What value did I gain?
Idk. Hoping there will be research soon.

Do your own n=1 research! Unfortunately the only companies that would fund this would be AI labs. They aren't going to report that it sucks
One cool way I saw someone do it was to estimate a task and then randomize whether they'd use AI or hand code it
