Unless I'm doing something simple like writing out some basic shell script or python program, it's often easier to just do something myself than take the time to explain what I want to an LLM. There's something to be said about taking the time to formulate your plan in clear steps ahead of time, but for many problems it just doesn't feel like it's worth the time to write it all out.

I find that if a problem doesn't require planning it's probably simple enough that the LLM can handle it with little input. if it does require planning, I might as well dump it into an LLM as another evaluator and then to drive the implementation.
