Sometimes people forget that you don't have to use AI to actually write the code. You can stick to "Ask" mode and it will give you useful suggestions and generate code but won't actually modify your files.
This has been my experience as well. I get drained at the end, and I spent most of my energy and thinking capacity dealing with the LLM instead of the problem space.
Like trying to write with a wet noodle - always off in some way.
Write the code feels way more precise and not less efficient.
