It hallucinates, overengineers solutions, and loves duplicating code. But despite these quirks, the latest models have genuinely increased my overall motivation to build things.</p> <p>My brain is always generating ideas for new tools or projects. The problem has never been a lack of imagination. It is the groundwork. Even the simplest website requires boilerplate, configuration, and repetitive tasks. This work is unavoidable and incredibly tedious. It is exactly the kind of friction that kills a hobby project before it starts. AI shines here. If you give it an exact specification, preferably with tests to measure the results, it will churn out decent code for the mundane stuff.</p>
