Extent

With the help of (mostly) ChatGPT, Iโ€™ve now created 12 Firefox add-ons. They do exactly what I want them to do and help me every day. Sans ChatGPT, I couldโ€™ve eventually created them all, of course. They are not technically out of my reach, given enough time. However, I spent a total of about 18 hours or so on those add-ons. If Iโ€™d had to write all the code myself (and again, I am a bad programmer), I never wouldโ€™ve done so as it wouldโ€™ve taken me 300-500 hours. Huge difference.

In other words, ChatGPT allowed me to create 12 extensions that make my life noticeably better that even if I were technically capable of doing so without that tool, in practical terms I never wouldโ€™ve done it due to the high time cost.

And that my friends is what we call a win.
