Totally. I feel like it’s akin to jamming with someone. We both go down our own paths for a bit, then I have a next step for it, and I can review what it last came up with and iterate while it does more of its own thing. Rinse, repeat. This is more fun and less energy consuming than “do it all yourself”, which certainly means a lot.

This way works for me. Any time I tried to treat it as a colleague that I can just assign tasks to, it’s failed miserably.
