    I’ve found questions about niche tools tend to get worse answers. I was asking if some stuff about jpackage and it couldn’t give me any working suggestions or correct information. Stuff I’ve asked about Docker was much better.

      Try asking it about the same thing in react vs vue vs svelte. The react answers are often the best, simply because there’s the most source material.

      I have to program PLC’s here and there and that is niche enough that GPT is borderline useless for actual code generation.

      The ability of AI to write things with lots of boilerplate like Kubernetes manifests is astounding. It gets me 90-95% of the way there and saves me about 50% of my development time. I still have to understand the result before deployment because I’m not going to blindly deploy something that AI wrote and it rarely works without modifications, but it definitely cuts my development time significantly.
