This is what I've used it for and it's helped me learn, especially because it makes mistakes and I have to get them to work. In my case it was with Terraform and Ansible.

Haha, yeah. It really loves to refactor my code to "fix" bracket list initialization (e.g. List<string> stringList = [];) because it keeps not remembering that the syntax has been valid for a while.

It's newest favorite hangup is to incessantly suggest null checks without asking if it's a nullable property that it's checking first. I think I'm almost at the point where it's becoming less useful to me.
