    Is there any real virtue in groveling through docs vs. asking chatGPT and getting a technical answer significantly faster? That's been the biggest life improvement, for me. I still write all the code. It's like search on steroids.

    Yeah for discovery of information I do see the value. Though searching with a non-enshittified search engine like Kagi helps. It really is an indication of how poor documentation is. Having said that, one experience I had was asking chatgpt how to do something, it giving an answer that almost worked (tweaked it to get it to work), then ask chatgpt where to look for the relevant docs. Then it gave fake links which looked perfect but had no content. Sigh.
