I find LLMs very useful for setting up tech stuff. "How do I xyz in docker?" It does a great job of boiling together several disjointed How Tos that don't quite get me there into one actually usable one. I use it when googling and following articles isn't getting me anywhere, and it's often saved so much time.

They are also amazing at generating configuration that's subtly wrong.

For example, if the bad LLM generated configurations I caught during pull requests reviews are any example, there are plenty of people with less experienced teams running broken kubernetes deployments.

Now, to be fair, inexperienced people would make similar mistakes, but inexperienced people are capable of learning with their mistakes.
