It’s eliminated a mental barrier to building products where I was worried before I had limited time to work and needed to focus on things that drew from existing familiarity. Now I’m able to focus on the product/outcome even if what’s involved is outside what I’m familiar with and at least get started building. The net effect has been I can build a wider variety of things in a wider variety of tooling with more enjoyment and less drudgery. - text summaries - sysadmin stuff - debugging stuff - boilerplate stuff - unblocking writers block - integrating disparate stacks - data transformation and algorithm stuff - most marketingy stuff: copy, images, campaign/activations
