In my experience, coding with AI is much more mentally taxing than coding without. But it is much faster. When I use AI I need to continuously review, direct, and manage the AI. I go through every change and I agree with them, updates nits and regenerate code that is not up to par with a better or more specific prompt. Not doing this exercise is disastrous for the codebase. It really explodes in complexity in no time. Moreover it always try to fix error with more code. Not with better code.
