I'm a backend person; CSS was never my strength. For years that meant my side projects worked nicely and looked ugly. That changed.

##Where it genuinely helps

→Boilerplate and scaffolding: minutes, not hours.
→In domains I know poorly (animation, layout), I get to a working version faster.
→Code review as a second pair of eyes, not flawless, but it makes you think.

Architectural decisions. An LLM is good at writing something, but whether you should write it at all is still a human question.

My workflow now is: I decide the structure, and delegate the filling-in. That split has worked well so far.
