Fair enough, experiences do differ. But how are you evaluating those POCs? Just based on 'visually what looks better', or architecturally etc?

In my experience, the slow parts are around making sure you're aligning on a long-term vision, understanding the domain and customer problem well enough, balancing the technical aspects/speed today with quality down the line, etc.

This probably does depend on what kind of tech problems you work on. If you're purely doing frontend development I'm sure you'll be faster. If you work on complexer systems with e.g robotics/hardware interaction, I can't see it being significantly faster. YMMV :)

There are multiple points of iteration. for me, it's user interface and core algorithms. Because the cost of creating an iteration was so high before, I would think about the problem for a long time and then implement the one that seems best maybe kind of?? I was always wondering that maybe I could have found a better solution. Now with AI, I can iterate through two or three solutions that I'm trying to decide between and see which one works best in a much shorter time frame.
