Yeah I feel much the same way, though I think LLMs suck ass at troubleshooting. They are almost always going down wrong paths and making bad guesses that I waste time disproving, or suggesting solutions that don't wind up lining up with the symptoms I'm having.

Where I do get value out of LLMs is in two main areas. One is generating short bits of code that I can more or less instantly recognize as correct. Bash scripts are a good example - I can read bash well enough but I'm not great at writing it, so Claude can generate a 20-line script very quickly and I can equally quickly understand the generated code. Writing such scripts would probably take me 15-20 minutes, so I'm not saving huge time, but it's there. The other use case I have is asking the LLM for code review on my personal projects. I don't let it write code (that would destroy the whole fun of the personal project, for one thing), but sometimes I have some code I'm pretty sure sucks and I'll ask ChatGPT to suggest better ways to accomplish the same thing. I learn a lot reviewing its suggestions.
