    Makes sense, even if it’s not good practice.

    It is really useful for hobby projects! I needed a recursive function to find a path between two nodes in a graph and it wrote me something that worked with my data in a few seconds, saved a bit of time

            Meh, I knew that my graph would never have loops and would only ever have one path from A to B, so it did it well enough. Pretty easy to test!

        Actual time spent micromanaging the AI until it produces the perfect code may or may not exceed writing the code yourself.

        That’s fair, and if I were getting paid for it I’d do the same! But it’s for a project that’s essentially a pomodoro timer 😆 so it’s harder to justify the time
