Skip the vague praise. The useful reviews here tell you what the tool was for, where it saved time, and where it started to bite back.
Editorial notes
Useful context from gptsters, clearly separate from builder proof.
Used for
Used it to speed up infra-heavy coding inside an AWS stack

Used for
Evaluated it for backend work tied to Lambda and IAM
