this was kind of my experience as well, esp. when dealing with stuff I don't know super well. for example not super up on node.js but know enough to get done what I need to get done. got GPT to throw out some ideas re: linked lists with an approach I'd never seen before. so then the question was... is it smarter than me, and knows the answer better than I do? or is it dumber? I spent more time figuring that out -- it was dumber -- than if I'd just slapped in the node and mongo code myself. though I'll say it was a good learning experience, but not something really sustainable for full-time coding.
