The last paragraph for me is critical. I've got pretty severe ADHD. I know the things I want to do and the steps to make them, but the executive function to do them just doesn't seem to exist anymore for personal projects. CC has made that sort of work possible for me again. One of my immediate needs was to be able to share screenshots with CC securely. I one-shotted a paste service similar to imgur, but far more simple in design just for this use case. I can share documents and images/text/documents with CC just by pasting into a browser and CC can share files with me by uploading to the underlying services /uploads directory and sending me the link. The whole service took us 5-10 minutes to build and deploy in a split horizon DNS configuration that pretty much just worked as expected on the first try.
Now don't get me wrong. It's a stupid simple app and would have been quick to build personally as well. It just takes a post with clipboard contents and guesses the file type based on data provided. Saves the content into the service /uploads directory with a randomized 6 character name and provides a link. When accessing a link, the service finds all pastes older than pasteTimeoutSetting and deletes them before trying to serve the content. But all I had to do was describe the use case and make a couple small suggestions before the entire thing Just Worked.
