Sounds like a lot of work just to avoid doing work.

Can I just type out the code instead? Please?

It is a lot of work, but I’m much more productive and produce better code than when I was running a small team. And I’m not spending 36k a month. As a research stage startup, that’s a really big deal.

I’ve been writing code for nearly 50 years now, and the only thing I like better than coding is getting things done. For me, AI is rocket fuel if you do it right, and a bunch of hypergolic liquid if you don’t.
