I recently spoke with a CTO about how AI is making software development faster and more fun than ever, spoke again about it today, so decided to final write it up. To put my views to the test, I built another feature into my existing app that evening, timed it, and evaluated the results.

🕒 Total time: 𝟮.𝟱 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 to live - design, testing, and additional features.

📌 Feature: A tool to preview and test eBay listings more accurately.

🔥 AI generated code: 99+% I touched a few lines of code.

🔧 𝗔𝗜 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵:

✅ Scaffolding the entire tool in seconds

✅ Refining UI & simulating eBay’s rendering behavior

✅ Extracting and styling HTML/CSS from screenshots

✅ Ample time for ensuring extensible so I can add many more features next

✅ Feature creep, once built more features took minutes, why not?!

The result? A fully working, production-ready tool built in record time, proving that AI-assisted development is a total game changer.

⚡ AI didn’t just speed things up—it made the whole process ridiculously easy and fun for me the engineer at the helm.
