  • I’ve had success with:

    • dumping email threads into it to generate user stories,
    • generating requirements documentation templates so that everyone has to fill out the exact details needed to make the project a success
    • generating quick one-off scripts
    • suggesting a consistent way to refactor a block of code (I’m not crazy enough to let it actually do all the refactoring)
    • summarize the work done for a slide deck and generate appropriate infographics

    Essentially, all the stuff that I’d need to review anyway, but use of AI means that actually generating the content can be done in a consistent manner that I don’t have to think about. I don’t let it create anything, just transform things in blocks that I can quickly review for correctness and appropriateness. Kind of like getting a junior programmer to do something for me.










  • You need to use their modem quite often, but you don’t need to use their router. They’re usually “all in one” modem/router things these days, but they’re legally required to provide you with a modem in bridge mode if you ask — at that point, an Ethernet cable attached to their modem is effectively attached to the Internet, and you can put your own hardware inside (firewall, Wifi router, etc.).

    While you need to connect to their IP gateway, you don’t need to use their DNS services or anything but their IP gateway service.
