With all due respect to the author, but it feels like they went directly from "This project is so hard, I could never get it done with my time budget, so there is no point" to "This project is so easy now that anyone could do it, so there is no point".

I feel this skips the part where someone is actually doing the project - and that someone could very well be the author.

I think in that situation, AI tools can be a huge boon. Especially if you lose concentration easily, they can feel like having a bike vs going by foot: You can stay on a more abstract level and still make progress where you'd have to stop and implement every nook and cranny yourself otherwise.
