    I suppose there’s positive, then there’s “totally changed how I work”. It’s a big call. Maybe a real-world example would make it sound more believable: “before ChatGPT, I would have to sift through stacks of outdated VB6 documentation on $task. This took up most of the day. Yesterday I used a LLM to get a basic implementation of $task then I tidied it up and installed it within an hour.”

      That sounds way more like an ad to me hehe

      The thing is it’s true. Before the internet grew and search engines got big you had a massive manual on your desk for whatever you were using. At my first job I had a yearly budget for buying technical books. That or you’d install a massive help library like MSDN.

      Imo this is as big a change as moving from those to blogs and online docs.
