I know many people say AI tools are hype and still suck - and in many ways that’s true, but I can now do a thing in 3 days that would previously take me a year because I had no idea where to start.

That’s super powerful. And it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Things are getting very interesting.

Ashamed to admit but I still ChatGPT for basic stuff. Claude for code. I do have self-hosted “open source” models running locally but they are slow and usually not very good. The tool I’m most impressed with so far is the Cline extension in VS Code. It’s dumb in many ways but if you know how it’s dumb, you can guide it to be smarter. Have yet to dig into Cursor.

0 shame necessary, i use chatGPT as a tutor to create practice exams and scenarios for my school. Not dying on the sovereignty/privacy hill for that.

For coding, I've felt incredibly overwhelmed by the amount of options + lack of good UI/UX in the tools I've tried using. I get an hour in and feel like I've gone nowhere, just end up getting frustrated and overwhelmed.
