I have tried it for actually useful things and it does work. e.g. I have used it to write several zsh and neovim snippets for QoL improvements (things that I always wanted but was too lazy too write). I even used it to suggest and make some changes to CPython Internals for some features I wanted to add to python for fun. It is very possible it utterly fails on homegrown (non public) software stacks. But it is still very useful. I have used it for many non software things as well, and again very useful.

Okay, that makes more sense to me. But those seem like "toy" things to throw ChatGTP at (not dismissing their usefulness or their importance to you, just that they are fairly simple things [and maybe I'm wrong here, I have not written zsh - I googled it just now]). I think my needs are too specific, and often too nebulous. Also, just a bit chapped about falling for the hype.

  With ever growing context windows, you can upload your entire codebase (or at least the public API) in the prompt and have the model reason off of that.
