    I also find it very useful to bounce ideas, like an interactive rubber duck. Even when it’s wrong it can help me think out loud or elaborate ideas. It’s also very useful to help me set up tests, raise and delete environments, write documentation, etc. all things that I can do on my own, it can help make implementation faster. AI can be useful when you use it like a tool. I know it can and will make mistakes, but like all tools it can help make things faster when used correctly.

        In my field its common for my colleagues to not have enough experience outside of their role to provide the feedback im looking for. They help in conversation for sure, but the wide knowledge base that is available through AI is my biggest win.

        That and I cant over utilize it (well at least as a rubber duck). I can bug my colleagues too much and get in their way if im too talkative.

        I have an actual rubber duck for that. I hate it when my colleagues interrupt me just because they forgot how lambdas work

          that also helps. truth be told we’re all too busy to do actual rubberducking unless we work on something together so proxies are a good alternative.
