ChatGPT is making you feel productive while you build nothing.

I've been noticing this pattern in myself for months and I finally snapped out of it. You sit down with a simple idea. You ask ChatGPT about it. It gives you a really good answer. That answer mentions a few things you hadn't considered, so you ask about those too. Suddenly you're comparing architectures, databases, auth systems, deployment strategies. for an app that doesn't even exist yet. Two hours go by and it genuinely feels like you made progress. But you didn't build anything. You didn't even decide anything. You just explored endlessly.
