" It's marginally better than the plain old internet was for getting help"

Ok, so as an example, I have a old 2D game of mine. Custom written voxel engine for a shooter game with completely destroyable world. Works great, but 2D.

I always dreamed of making it 3D, but never found the time. It would have been a huuuge effort doing it on my own.

Some days ago I pointed fable at the engine and basically said, make it 3D.

And it did. Took some hours. Not by copying other voxel engines, but by making my engine 3D. (I know because I know there is no game on the market like this)

So yes, I knew the domain and thought long and hard about it and the core is handwritten and battle tested and that probably helped steering it in the right direction. But I did not wrote a single line of this new code. And it works awesome.

This is not what I call marginally improvement. But you do you.

Wow, the world can finally play your 2D game in 3D. I'm sure it's very fun.
