Yesterday I dumped some data in via ``` quotes and finished with a minimax question (e.g. "which rows that add up to 96 minimize the column called disk"). One shotted.

The day before I half diagnosed a cloud-init problem to the point I was tired and grumpy. I gave the AI a login on the instance showing the problem and it found it in a few minutes. All that was left was for me to write it up for the client to understand.

To me, it's a meta "oh shit" moment, where I realize I get so much small value from AI I don't want to live without it, despite the costs I'm aware of (and those I don't know about yet).

Just like a smartphone, 15 years ago.
