Yep, I also thought that the article is less about personal projects. The list of software development aspects that the author gives includes CI/CD, good documentation, and integration tests — I'd be surprised if a lot of hobby projects out there had these (apart from what's available out of the box for free, e.g. Vercel's automatic deployment from GitHub).

In the boring professional setting though, I can totally relate. The really hard questions I have to answer at work are usually not about code.

For a one-off script or a weekend project, on the other hand, even the current gen AI is a life-changing thing.
