I've found a middle ground where I sketch architecture by myself or using AI as an advisor. Document all my decisions and key points and then use AI coding to extend foundation and add features.

Basically what I do:

- I have an idea of some architecture solution for the current task

- I try to sketch it myself and use AI to find some flaws I missing or try to find alternative approaches

- Review comments from AI and summarize into final decision

- Implement foundational layer myself or using AI to help me

- Document all crucial points like module boundaries, dependencies, key strutural elements

- Use AI to add features on top of newly built architecture

I think it really depends on the person and your existing workflow. For me personally, I find LLMs to be a great pair-programming partner that helps me stay focused even on mundane tasks. When it comes to truly difficult problems, their input can definitely get annoying sometimes, but at the very least, they can be delegated to do massive amounts of verification work. It's an easy way to get a wealth of empirical data to back up my decisions.

Also, I was wondering why posts that don't start with 'Ask HN' still show up in the Ask section? Just asking out of curiosity, since I'm a newbie here.
