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
