here's what AI/LLMs has done for my code output: fun open source projects have come out at a rate of roughly once per week. for me, LLMs turn speculative ideas into background tasks rather than foreground projects.
i often would think, "hmm, this might be a good idea" and then think to myself, how long it might take because i'm mentally speccing it out, maybe even with pseudocode.
then i think it might take too long, and put it on the back burner, since these are just meant to be fun hacks.
reality is now, i just feed those specs+pseudocode to an LLM, and voila!, it mostly generates things that are useful.
i would not have shipped your year with chat (yywc) 3 weeks ago without the aid of an LLM. neither would i have done the apple health analysis with HeartQL. nor would i have made the kajabi video downloader - i'd probably have just paid the $20.
so this isn't vibecoding. it's scratching an itch while knowing that what would have taken real, focused time before can now happen in the background, as i’m doing something else productive. that's the shift.
