Is it verbose? Yes

Will it work? Also yes.

This is usually enough for most cases. Despite HN skewing to the fancier side of programming, the vast majority of day to day programming is just slapping together API glue.

For those cases LLMs like Copilot are excellent. It's a lot faster to ask Copilot about some specific C# thing than start searching through Microsoft's documentation for it. In most cases it can just insert whatever you want at the cursor.

Like just today I pasted a SQL CREATE statement to Copilot and asked it to create a FooModel class of it. Took me 3 seconds of typing, about 5-10 seconds of waiting and clicking "insert at cursor" and I had a 15 property model class.

Repeat a few more times and I've cut down stupid tedious writing by at least 30 minutes and I can go do the more fun bits of attaching some actual logic to those models.
