LLMs have helped me a ton and have allowed me to replace all my apps that I was paying for. They're internal, so they don't have to be perfect, but man they've saved me money. That's just my experience.
Youtube music, GitKraken, 1password, Parallels -- i've canceled subscriptions to all of these because either I've replaced them or have had help from LLMs enough to find different options that are either free or cheaper.
well, I'm assuming you mean for this part I had said:
> had help from LLMs enough to find different options that are either free or cheaper.
as one example, I would have to do multiple google searches to build a secure network around a replacement tool I built for 1password, but the LLM was able to walk me through everything (even though I'd never had dedicated training around security). google searches are great for 1-off questions, but have the LLM walk you through something or have it do it for you.

I hope that isn't implying you're hosting a vibecoded password manager. Because that would be a horrible idea. If you selfhost a password manager, it's much better to use something that is reputable and tested against like Vaultwarden.
Even if you have it say, in a Tailnet that only your machines can get into, that just means someone has to compromise one of your machines.

btw, I'm using claude code in all this
