I strongly agree with op.

It's a massive accelerator for my dumb and small hobby projects. If they take to long I tend to give up and do something else.

Recently I designed and 3d printed a case for a raspberry pi, some encoders and buttons, a touchscreen, just to contol a 500 EUR audio effects paddel (eventide H9)

They official android app was over if the worst apps I ever used. They even blocked paste in the login screen...

Few people have this fx box, and even fewer would need my custom controller for it., build it for an audience of one. But thanks to llms it was not that big of a deal. It allowed me to concentrate on what was fun.

very cool! Did the LLM just help you with the software, or also with the 3D print?

Thanks. Llm did "only" the software part. A tiny bit with answering questions about encoders and dpio pins.
I recently for fun gave an llm an image of a dj mixer and record player, in order to recreate a 3d model. It somewhat worked, but it's very basic.
