The hype is exceeding the actual day to day impact.

Much of the hype is focused on functional limitations, where the real payoff is speed.

We can now do some basic - and increasingly more advanced - things much much faster.

For experienced programmers, this isn’t new. It’s a cycle that began with compilers and most recently hit with containerization and cloud computing.

But the public discourse isn’t based around the reality, it’s based around a projected future.

For those with experience, the projected future is a combination of sci-fi and back of the envelope estimates.
