This tracks with what I’ve experienced. Similar to scrolling, I’ve noticed a maladaptive behavior in myself in which, when given a task, I’ll try and have an LLM pick up all the context and do the task, because it feels faster (why absorb all context and give to LLM when LLM can do all?)
This can feel very productive. Spending time absorbing context and building models feels less so, but after some time (usually a day, sometimes much longer if there’s a lot to absorb), these feelings switch: if I left it to an AI I feel lost with whatever it implemented, while if I did the learning I feel rewarded & clear on how to do the task.
