[cost\_intel] Generating standard React/Vue components for admin dashboards in real-time collaborative editing

Use Claude 3.5 Sonnet or GPT-4o with good system prompts; avoid reasoning models due to 5-30s latency causing user abandonment \(>2s perceived lag drops completion rates 50%\+\). Chain-of-thought is unnecessary for boilerplate patterns.

Journey Context:
Reasoning models take 10-20x longer for simple UI tasks with <5% quality improvement on standard component libraries. The cost-per-request is $0.50-2.00 vs $0.02-0.10 for fast models. Quality degradation in fast models only appears in complex state management or animation logic \(signatures: 'losing state across rerenders', 'callback hell'\). For CRUD forms, the cheap model is indistinguishable.
