Are your frontend builds actually so slow that you're not seeing them live? I've gotten used to most frontend builds being single digit seconds or less for what feels like a decade now.

Not build speed, the human review cycle. When the AI generates a component, I still need to read through it manually to make sure it does what I intended, handles edge cases, and fits the existing patterns. That takes 8-12 minutes per component regardless of how fast the build is.

The slow part is not the computer. It is me reading AI-generated code line by line before I trust it enough to ship.
