A developer shares their experience using GitHub Copilot and AI agents in Visual Studio to complete three long-postponed projects during a holiday weekend: converting a book into a static website, building a TOON language parser and Visual Studio extension, and creating new color themes. The AI tools provided 5-10x speed improvements by generating code, handling isolated tasks in parallel, and jumpstarting complex work. While AI accelerated development significantly, manual refinement and traditional coding were still needed for certain tasks. The experience demonstrates how AI coding assistants can overcome procrastination by reducing the initial barrier to starting overwhelming projects.
