2 heavily resonates with me. Simon Wilson made the point early on that AI makes him more ambitious with his side projects, and I heavily agree. Suddenly lots of things that seemed more or less un-feasible are now not only do-able, but can actually meet or exceed your own assumptions for them.
Being able to sit down after a long way of work and ask an AI model to implement some bug or feature on something while you relax and _not_ type code is a major boon. It is able to immediately get context and be productive even when you are not.
Funny. This is exactly how I use it too. I love to make a ui change prompt and switch to the browser and watch hot reload incrementally make the changes I assume will happen.
