You’re describing extremely valid approach for a hobby. Less for a business.

The fact so many people think businesses need to do do do, faster faster faster, now now now, at all costs is a major reason everything sucks, everything is fucked up, everyone is exploited.

No, they are not. Even ignoring business where using AI would have consequences for you (medical is one example), there are plenty "normal" software companies that value quality over slop.

Exactly. When you're operating as a business you need to be executing and AI helps a lot in brainstorming, developing, testing etc.

I have ADHD and just by brainstorming with AI helps me initiate.

Of course, you need to be the ultimate gatekeeper or else there will be quality issues. But isn't that the same when we write manual code? AI is just another tool in your toolkit.
