I do use it in my small business for price research. I regularly have it run market research to see what something is worth and whether I can arbitrage it reselling or not. The speed at which that research comes back gives me the ability to make buy decisions in seconds and minutes versus taking hours to do it myself. I also use it for coding but the import library risk is a problem. Seems to be best to let it run in VMs when testing coding versus anywhere else.

Do you find that the price research results are pretty accurate?

Since I do a lot of resell of used stuff it does come in handy. Mainly, there's far more information available online, so what the AI provides in comparisons and references pan out far better than if it had to project unique, new stuff in market research.

Yes. Isolate them. I also automatically cycle workspace and homedir per session. If you can't, at least cycle it manually once a while. Lots of crap accumulates and its very hard to keep track of everything ever installed.

Token spend on installing tooling does rise but can always script the common items. I.e. I have pinned tools like uv, pip-audit and npm in my container image to save confusion. Painful to maintain the pins though. Also of the docker base images.
