Great article this morning. Got to the blog scroll link and… now I am here.

I hope I don’t get distracted too much longer. I want to finish it.

Just everything else with AI, you can get good results with low effort.

Then you can grind and keep eeking out gains.

This has add’l benefits:
- improvement on that task
- greater vision of what else you can do
- higher expectations on what good results are
- better first drafts the next time.

That's my favorite fun fact about SQLite. Seems to be a competitive advantage for them securing contracts from large organizations.
