AI can make you faster and still dull the sharp bits

I keep wondering if AI is making me better or just faster. I’ll happily let it draft boring scaffolding, but I still want my hands on naming, architecture, and reviews, because that’s where the judgment gets built. If I hand off too much, it starts feeling like I’m doing more output and less thinking. Has anyone found a setup that keeps the speed without turning your brain into mush?
