I don't use it constantly but regularly.

LLMs english skills are much better than mine.

And when i do a little bit of go coding once a week (i'm a java developer by trade), i don't have the time to learn go well enough to just type stuff down without looking things up. Instead of googling, i tell it "I need a struct with the following attributes..." and it doesn't just ell me how i do structs in go, it also creates them for me.

Also: There are a TON of issues were i would write a short script to do something (formatting text into a table, searching for specific lines etc.) were a normal person doesn't even have those tools at hand.

For companies overall: Its not just what an LLM can do, LLM can do things for you but its also a very very good interface to your application. The demos i saw in my company are really good and totally make sense and do reduce the entry barrier for people.

I know a friend whos job is to create reports with sql. She doesn't do anything else just reports across the whole datawarehouse. Why? Because every normal non dev person can't just write SQL or automate things.

The gap between tech people and management is huge.
