My old job feels distant now

The author describes how ChatGPT has become deeply integrated into their professional workflow over the past year, evolving from a Google-like search tool to an essential coding assistant. They progressed through phases of using it for code generation in Ruby, tab completion in their IDE, and most productively for learning computer vision in Python, where they could simultaneously build projects and master new APIs. The author reflects on how familiar this tool has become that their previous way of working now feels distant.
