Do I go slower, because I spend time developing my toolkit and workflow for research, instead of just doing the research? Briefly, yes, I do. Then I go faster. Everything becomes smoother, cleaner, more effective.I know my code inside and out. I know it does what I want. I know what my results mean.I don't have to rehash the same requests with a chat bot each time I start a new project. I don't have to proofread and correct some simulacra of software design. I don't even have to describe my idea in words, I can just start doing it.In the long run, I think I'm much faster. More importantly, though, I'm growing, I'm having fun, and I'm making things myself that I'm proud of.(3/3)#academicchatter #programming #llm
