It's still a lot of work.

I have to prompt for the features, test them, then iterate until the UX is acceptable before I merge.

Usually I would juggle 2-5 topics in parallel, unless one of them demands more of my attention.

While there is no more code review involved, it is a lot of QA work and testing on device.

The bottleneck is that the AI does not have taste, does not know what the product should be, and would happily ship horrible slop without my intervention.

Other than the implementation itself there are other things that need to be handled: researching competitors, keywords, pricing, AppStore preparation, TOS and privacy policy, when do you show the rating prompt, translations, etc.

AI still helps with a lot of it, but it takes time and effort.
