AI as a skills amplifier really resonates with me. I’ve been able to quickly learn Python and Rust by using an LLM to bridge gaps between what I already know in other languages and the syntax or concepts in these new ones, such as asking how to perform string interpolation in Python. It’s helpful for getting up to speed and being productive quickly. I also find LLMs useful for conducting initial research on problems, especially problems that are new to me, as they provide access to a vast amount knowledge.

I am curious what impact AI will have on the consulting industry. For $20/month, I’ve gotten far more value from ChatGPT than any consultant I’ve worked with.
