It always feels like some form of VR tech comes out with some sort of fanfare and with a promise it will take over the world, but it never does.

It's made a world of difference to me in my IT support services business. It's not always right, but it's always helpful even when it isn't. It's far better at looking at a page of log information and picking out the one bit that explains why the thing I need to work isn't working. I've been emboldened to do a lot of projects that I was previously uncomfortable with. The key is I know enough about nearly anything that I can tell when im being led down a garden path.

The quality of the prompt is everything.

    Yes. I can post a terminal output into it and it'll tell me exactly what's not working and why. And that's incredibly valuable.

    Ironically, I used Gemini to help me build a little app that takes a copied YouTube link and uses yt-dlp to download it to my Jellyfin server in a format that'll play nicely on my Apple TV. I can't imagine how I'd approach achieving that if I had to start from scratch.
