    AI chatbots are sometimes quicker than using official library documentation. I daresay usually quicker, for anything but documentation that I know really well already.

    I haven’t spent my own money on a development tool in a long time, but I find it worth a few of my employer’s dollars.

    It’s hardly life-changing, but it’s convenient.

    I can’t comment on it’s mistakes or hallucinations, because I am a godlike veteran programmer - I can exit Vim - and so I - so far - have immediately recognized when the AI is off track, and have been able to trivially guide it back toward the solution I’m looking for.
