there's some minority that's in the venn diagram of being good at programming, being good at AI, then also being good at using AI for programming (which is mostly project management), and if everything aligns then there are superhuman productivity gains.

I'm tackling projects solo I never would have even attempted before but I could see people getting bad results and giving up.

> if everything aligns then there are superhuman productivity gains.

This is a truism and, I believe, is at the core of the disagreement on how useful AI tools are. Some people keep talking about outlier success. Other people are unimpressed with the performance in ordinary tasks, which seem to take longer because of back-and-forth prompting.

Same here! Started learning self hosted k3s, with terraform and IaC and all the bells and whistles. I would never have had the energy to look up how to even get started. In three hours I have a cluster.

Doesn't sound like you learned it, sounds like it did it for you, using you as the tool.

IOW, can you redo it by yourself? If you can't then you did not learn it.
