At the end of the day when I'd be thrashing or reverting as much as I write, I can let Jesus take the wheel for a bit to refresh.
On small issues it's usually just a glance over the diff, on harder issues it's not challenging to scold it into a good path once something starts coming together, as long as it's a localized edit with a problem I understand. I'll often take over when it's 40-60% there, which is only possible b/c it does a good job of following todo lists.
I've moved into a good daily workflow that emphasizes my own crafting during the times I'm sharp like mornings, and lets AI do the overtime and grunt work while I prepare for tomorrow or do more thoughtful writing and design.
So glad I've found someone else who has this workflow.
I spend probably 70% of my active coding time coding. The rest is using LLMs to keep making progress but give my brain a bit of a break while I recharge, being more supervisory with what's happening, and then taking over if necessary or after the 10-15 minutes it takes for me to start caring again.
