As for your question of how Gemini Advanced or ChatGPT Plus has been amazing for me, that's fairly easy to answer: they dramatically cut down the time needed to do things as a developer.
The $20 pm cost is such a drop in the ocean compared to the value I get. There is no comparing how productive you can be in many industries with and without a tool like ChatGPT Plus or Gemini Advanced.
- They are phenomenal at planning. Specifically, having an open-ended chat with about architectural options for a new project.
- They can generate high-quality boilerplate for almost anything.
- Sometimes they can cut down the time it takes to build something, like a WordPress plugin, from days to hours, or from a full day to 2-4 hours.
- Their ability to QA code is insane. They can catch major and obscure vulnerabilities so easily.
- I can plug in URLs and get summaries for almost any article
- Even with videos now, thanks to Gemini Advanced
- They can generate images, very handy for placeholder content
- Way more stuff. You're limited by your imagination.
And again, don't use the free versions.
For programming, chatgpt has taken tasks for me which used to take me several days and crammed it down to a few hours. It's great.
