Ask HN: Does debating between using AI and just writing code slow you down?

That's my question.

I've found myself dithering a lot now over whether to just write it, knowing I could try to order it up and fix it while I have a cup of coffee. What worries me is it's making me less likely to just get up and make code.

Not using AI, but I guess the hidden problem is the specification. I usually don't have a complete specification in my mind, so it would be hard to explain it tot the AI.

And also, I like to think with the fingers, that means to write a prototype and get surprised by the technical surprising problems that appear after I wrote half of it.

When all of that fails, I turn on the brain and use pen and paper :)
