As a software engineer, definitely. Things that might have taken days writing a boilerplate framework and reading through docs to find out how to figure certain things could take hours now. Now I don’t have to spend hours learning how to use the data visualisation library in order to fix the one donut chart on my company’s site, I can ask AI to do it in minutes and make edits where needed.

It’s certainly not perfect or infallible, it spits out garbage a lot still. But since I have a deep understanding of the stuff I’m working on, I can recognize when it’s spitting out garbage and recalibrate.
