It seems to me people’s expectations vary a lot.

For me ChatGPT has replaced a lot of Google searches and skimming stackoverflow just to get some details for a small obstacle in my workflow.

Even if answers are not a hundred percent correct all of the time, it saves so much time to get to “good enough”.

I use it to generate shell scripts, SQL queries and general boilerplate like configuration files.

A couple of days ago I went from “I’d like to have a local DNS server running to test one aspect of my code” to a running docker container of CoreDNS with the configuration I needed for my tests in a matter of minutes. The same task would have taken forever had I googled for the information myself and stitched together snippets from the docs until it worked the way I wanted.

I run into the message limit occasionally, but 50 messages per 3 hours is more than enough most of the time.
