I totally relate to this. Sometimes I think I can do my ideas quicker but when I try to do that it ends up taking more time. So I learned waiting for AI to respond is a better use of my time.

I keep a notepad open with my ideas and thoughts as AI working and reading the code. Writing down my thoughts and use that for my next prompt.

Unrelated but I also noticed that using a lot of AI for coding often leads to over-engineered solutions. Instead of fixing the backend to return a proper audio format it suggests bringing FFMPEG to the browser and transcode for instance. It's important to be aware of this and keep asking AI if there are better ways to do things
