I'm in exactly the same boat as you, and it's driving me insane. I asked Cursor to generate a simple JavaScript function the other day, and it gave back a 200-line mess of garbage. I ended up just writing the function myself, and was able to do the same thing in 20 lines... and it's not like I was using some "clever" techniques that no future maintainer will ever understand, it was all just basic code.

AI is definitely generating 10x the amount of code... but not 10x the quality or productively.

Elegance is doing the same thing in fewer lines without sacrificing interpretability
