I'm on this boat. I can use LLMs to skip the boring bits like generating API glue classes or simple output functions.
Example:
I'm building a tool to grab my data from different sites like Steam, Imdb, Letterboxd and Goodreads.
I know perfectly well how to write a parser for the Goodreads CSV output, but it doesn't exactly tickle my brain. Cursor or Cline will do it in minutes.
Now I've got some data to work with, which is the fun bit.
Again if I want to format the output to markdown for Obsidian, the LLM can do it in a few minutes and maybe even add stuff I didn't think about at first.
