There is an impedance problem when working on a new project. At the beginning, when there's 0% of the task done, and you need to start _somewhere_, with a hello world or a CMakeLists file or a Python script or whatever, it takes effort. Before ChatGPT/LLM, I had to pull that effort out from within myself, with my fingertips. Now, I can farm it out to ChatGPT. It's less efficient, not as powerful as if I truly "sat down and did it myself," but it removes the cost of "deciding to sit down and do it myself." And even then, I'm cribbing and mashing together copy-pasted fragments from GitHub code search, Stackoverflow, random blog posts, reading docs, Discord, etc. After several attempts and retries, I have a "5% beginning" of a project when it finally takes form and I can truly work on it. I sort of transition from copy-pasting ChatGPT crap to quickly create a bunch of shallow, bullshit proofs-of-concept, eventually gathering enough momentum to dive into it myself. So, yes, it's slower, and more inefficient, and ChatGPT can't do it better than I can. But it's easier and I don't have to dig as deep. The end result is I have much more endurance in the actual important parts of the project (the middle and end), versus burning myself out on the beginning.
