I'm quite proficient in Python and Django (main tools I use daily).

Yet I find myself asking ChatGPT every now and then "hey how do I do <foo>", where <foo> is something I last needed to do a year or more ago. I can recognize the correct answer but don't need to search docs/net for it.

The reason this is faster (for me) than Googling or using Dash/Zeal is that the answer is already in the context of what I'm trying to do, whereas if I'm only looking at the docs, I will probably need to go through several pages to get a complete picture.
