I don’t honestly believe that AI can save me time as a developer. I’ve tried several AI agents and every single one cost me time.

I have had the exact same experience many times. But I just keep trying it out anyway, often with hilariously bad results.

I am beginning to realize that I like cool technology more than I like being productive.
