To me it is most useful when I have a singular issue with a bounded piece of code. Like a method, a single algorithm. A nasty SQL query too sometimes.

I don’t use if often (once a day maybe) but when I do use on problems I know it is good at I get really good answers. Oneliners to things my code is taking 20 loc to do, or some simplification I overlooked. But I have to be careful about what I give it.

I know I am better with architectural issues, but I suck at puzzle-like algorithmic problems. Don’t like them either, feels like a machine should do that and now it does.
