Yes!
Valuable, fundamental, etc. - do it yourself, the slow path.
Boring, uninspiring, commodity - and most of all - easily reversible and not critical - to the LLM it goes!
When learning things intrinsic motivation makes one unreasonably effective. So if there is a field you like - just focus on it. This will let you proceed much faster at _valuable_ things which all in all is the best use of ones time in any case.
Software crafting when you are not at a job should be fun. If it’s not fun, just do the least effort that suits your purpose. And be super diligent only about the parts _you_ care about.
IMHO people who think everyone should do everything from first principles with the diligence of a swiss clocksmith are just being difficult. It’s _one_ way of doing it but it’s not the _only right way_.
Care about important things. If a thing is not important and not interesting just deal with it the least painfull way and focus on something value adding.
