It's hard to tell whether it's the result of doing it full-time and I'd rather do other things in my spare time, or whether it's a pre-emptive feeling of already knowing how I'd work through it such that the mystery and tedium I find compelling to grind through is less present.
More ambiguity to me is more interesting, I like the hunt and the iterative process.
That said, it's a choice to use them for hobby projects, and LLMs are sufficiently bad that I'm coming full circle and feeling like their impact on those hobby projects might not be so pronounced. For them to be actually valuable, the process of using them needs to be significantly less tedious and more rewarding, and it's only in a few caes have I had that feeling.
