I messed up a personal project with #ai and I’m annoyed at it and myself. I tried to convert a 200 line Python module into golang with Gemini and it ended up returning 700 lines.

I’m like ok great, still saved me some time. I’ll just clean up the Golang script. I’m still not confident about writing #golang so this still seems like a time saving.

Except now when I’m looking at the diff between what it made and what I tweaked it to be, AI saved me no time. I had a functional script, it rewrote it into garbage and I basically rewrote the entire thing again to be not garbage. So my time savings approach took twice as long.
