Often when I use it I know that there is a way to do something and I know that I could figure it out by going through some api documents and maybe finding some examples on the web... IOW I already have something in mind.

For example I wanted to add a rate-limiter to an api call with proper http codes, etc. I asked the ai (in IntelliJ it used to be Claude by default but they've since switched to Gemini as default) to generate one for me. The first version was not good so I asked it to do it again but with some changes.

What would take me a couple of hours or more took less than 10 minutes.
