The most useful way to leverage LLMs for me has been as "content fillers". I'm a software engineer, and work with a rather large code base. Some parts are rarely touched, and loading the context into my brain whenever I need to go back to them requires quite a bit of effort. I found that asking cursor/Claude to suggest how to make the required chande rarely comes up with the right solution but usually points me in the right direction and is enough to help me load the context up. Similarly with my side projects, which typically involves knowledge that I don't use in my day to day.
