My experience as well (30+ years developing software for a living). I have tried everything from generating a complete, detailed spec using AI and then one-shot generating the code, to generating code one step at a time with me reviewing each result. The speed is pretty much the same. But generating code one step at a time is IMHO vastly superior because I deeply understand the code and can easily fix issues that the AI get stuck trying to fix.
