“Small tasks” are the key there. It can write a small script or spin up application boilerplate very well, but it really struggles with long-term maintenance and new features on a complex application.

I spend about as much time telling the AI “no, not like that” as it supposedly saves me from not having to type the code manually.

It does have some value, but I’d put it around a 10% boost – not the 500% boost that senior leadership insists it can do.

Between Lutris and Steam, I’ve been able to run every game flawlessly – several with better performance than I’ve seen on Windows, even.

The only limitation is anti-cheat software that some games (Team Fortress, Battlefield, etc.) require. I don’t play those types of games myself, so it’s not an issue for me.
