I get benefits with AI both on the writing the code part and the understanding the problem part. If AI disappeared tomorrow I’d probably still enter “plan mode” in my head. I like having the discussion with the AI about requirements and edge cases and all that, while it updates the plan and documents architectural decisions in CLAUDE.md. I love that I can add extra polish, such as color to terminal output, or other random features that would have not made the cut before. Instead toiling on a random one off script to fix a problem I can have a whole CLI build that is a joy to use. Explaining complex architecture is easy now because instead of a boring EDD I can slop out animations that demonstrate data moving and transforming through a system.
