Suppose that may be it. I mostly do bug fixing; so out of thousands of files I need to debug to find the one-line change that will preserve business logic while fixing the one case people have issues with.
In my experience, building a new thing from scratch, warts and all, has never really been all that hard by comparison. Problem definition (what you describe to the AI) is often the hard part, and then many rounds of bugfixing and refinement are the next part.
