Helped: Summarizing documentation for broad but shallow Terraform tasks.

Got in the way: Game development side-project output was not useful.

… Writing Terraform, in my opinion, is problem that's broad but shallow. GPT-4 needed to do little beyond summarize documentation, but it was able to do so competently, and that was hugely valuable to me. Conversely: In my free time, I've attempted to use it for a game-development side-project, and very little of its output has been useful at all.
