My own company has shipped a slew of features that were going to die in the backlog, tracked down almost every bug that comes through Sentry, and given me time to focus on bigger things (it's a 1-person company).
For myself, home automations that I was never going to spend the time getting "just right", I've replaced MyFitnessPal with an app I built, I've got more self-hosted projects running than ever before, and I've built websites and apps to scratch mine or my families needs that were never going to get built in the past.
When I run into an annoyance on my computer(s) now I don't just put up with it, I send an agent after it to figure out why it happened, how we can stop it from happening again, and/or if we can write some custom software to make the problem better or go away. It feels magical.
