Thursday

I had it help me set up a firewall, but made backups of good configs so I had a way to back out if i ended up with a tangled mess of rules. I had a few changes that needed to roll back, but generally most changes were good. I also had it troubleshoot a config issue on my network and was able to increase my internet speed from 50 to 475 mbps without any provider changes.

There are a bunch of things like that, but even though I'm technical, it still saved me a lot of research time. It was faster to use than not.

Social issues? phtkkkkt.
