AI led to me writing code outside of work for the first time in years. I completed a small project that would've taken me months in a couple weeks.

I'm excited to work on more things that I've been curious about for a long time but didn't have the time/energy to focus on.

AI also led me to experiment a bit more. In my case it helped remove the barrier to getting that initial bare-bones skeleton of code in a new environment by helping setting up libraries and a compile chain I was unfamiliar with and then giving me a baseline to build off of. Did you find that AI helped you evenly all the way through the experience or was it more helpful earlier or later on?

It was probably most helpful early on when there was lots of code to write and stuff to configure. Context is an issue as time passes. But it's still quite helpful for tweaking things/adding features later on, as long as I provide it with the necessary context/point it to the right files to read.
