I rarely use LLMs nowadays. Most of the time I'm fixing difficult to debug issues spanning multiple projects and a variety of backend systems and there's just no easy way to plug them to all this spaghetti. Autocomplete also spews out complete BS and was the first thing I disabled.

I did find they very useful when writing completely new stuff (things like "write a <insert your favorite API" client or making test boilerplate ie. as a copy&paste replacement tool.

It'd be nice to hear in detail how its been useful for other devs. There's too much propaganda around on how amazing it is and not nearly enough use cases.
