There are things that I have solved with this in a fraction of time that I otherwise wouldn’t have persued. Side projects I had in my mind. Or migration projects (old data) with lots of edge cases where I‘d have spent weeks to finish, I did in two days. Or apps I needed written in GTK as an interface for data or a workflow. Or semi-legal emails that I‘d have reached a lawyer for. There‘s a ton of things I can do with these tools in fractions of time. Or that I can do at all. This gives me superpowers. And it’s worth dropping a restaurant visit to pay for this.
