Comment on Fastest Front End Tooling for Humans and AIparent

Comments

Are your frontend builds actually so slow that you're not seeing them live? I've gotten used to most frontend builds being single digit seconds or less for what feels like a decade now.

Not build speed, the human review cycle. When the AI generates a component, I still need to read through it manually to make sure it does what I intended, handles edge cases, and fits the existing patterns. That takes 8-12 minutes per component regardless of how fast the build is.

The slow part is not the computer. It is me reading AI-generated code line by line before I trust it enough to ship.
