For me the biggest boost has been for front-end code. I have never considered front-end development, real development and the whole madness of next.js components which somebody wants to write or add and all of the CSS animations and designs and some of the tailwind class madness I let AI handle.

That stuff is already a mess so the AI slop that comes out is also messy and that's fine as long as it looks good and performs well. and does what I want and it's also really trivial to change.

However, I'm not letting it come near any backend code or actual development.

Front-end code is real development. It’s the part of your system that users interact with, and the part that has the most influence on people’s perceptions of your work. It’s also very fiddly and full of edge cases, precisely because it interacts with human beings.

If you think of it as “not real,” of course you’ll end up with a mess. But that says as much about your choices as it does about front-end development.
