o1 has lately seemed more useful for debugging than for actually writing code. With writing code, it may give me some scaffold but I have a pretty particular idea of what I want and I have to rewrite most of it. With debugging, there have been multiple cases where I was stuck on something, I described the problem in detail and o1 gave me an insightful explanation of what I didn't understand. It's not magic, but mostly what makes it not magic is it can't respond to very detailed questions. But if I can get it the relevant information into a small space it can draw connections I can't.
