I've been casually coding to assist my work for nearly 20 years now in various fields. It's helped me a lot recently when it came to blowing off rust when I was trying to use python.

The value I have found from it has been quite high, I have been more confident about being able to offer ideas, knowing I wouldn't have to spend quite as much time refreshing my language skills for languages i have not used in a while.

I agree with your last point,when I first started playing with chat GPT I thought I'd throw some of my already fixed problems and see how it handled them. It didn't have the best of answers (tripping over problems I also had initially) or wasn't much better than what I had already made.
