Helped: Writing specs first and using specific prompts for simple features.

Got in the way: Reviewing code changes was a waste of time.

… The nice part is I can spend an hour or so writing specs, start 3 or 4 tasks, and come back later to review the result. It's hard to be totally objective about how much time it saves me, but generally feels worth the 200/month. One thing I'm not impressed by is the ability to review code changes, that's been mostly a waste of time, regardless of how good the prompt is.
