I've been vibing a bit in my spare time, and in the beginning I didn't look too much at the cost because I was more interested in quickly reaching some sort of mvp state but then I had to manually troubleshoot a thing and wow it was so full of hardcoded bullshit, which was so insanely far from how I was im envisioning it.
I had to backtrack a lot and then started doing like you and tell it what I wanted the code to look like.
Often a series wrap up good in a season and I feel done with it. Like last of us and fallout, I just know season 2 will be worse. Then other times season 1 just sucks and I'm not interested in another for that reason.
