Yes! I think that what's happened is that the initial prototype takes a LOT less time, while the polish takes less time but still a significant amount.

I live in San Francisco and we get some beautiful sunsets here! Over the past few weeks, I cobbled together a system of alerts for when the sunset is predicted [1] to be particularly outstanding, resulting in this page that displays the prediction and also shows the current view from several cameras around the city.
[1]: Predictions are LLM-powered largely to more reliably consume the free-text descriptions in traditional (e.g., NWS) weather forecasts of predicted high and low cloud cover around sunset.

I've definitely found that while "AI makes getting from 0-80 done much easier than the 80-100" holds true, it is much easier to get my work to a quality bar that I'm excited to share with my peers...
