How using AI as my coding “pair programmer” doubled my shipping speed

I’ve been building a few health + fitness apps recently, and one lesson that saved me a ton of time was how I used AI in my workflow.

Instead of asking AI to “write everything,” I only delegate the boring boilerplate (setup, configs, repetitive CRUD). Then I focus 100% of my time on the business logic and user experience.

That one shift doubled my shipping speed and let me launch projects in weeks instead of months.

Curious — how do you all decide what parts of coding you trust AI with, and what you always do yourself?
