Agreed completely.

LLMs are making the quick jot to Stack Overflow obsolete, which solves your immediate problems using the least amount of brainpower.

They are also making reference-style documentation and long-form books more important than ever, since you still need to learn things and correct your own knowledge biases.

Not for me they're not.

Why would you say you still use stack overflow?

[EE84M3i]

ChatGPT (3, I'm on the wait-list for 4) is fine at answering questions and coming up with code samples for stuff that's on the beaten path (hey, how do I do this in python or go). I don't have many of these sorts of questions.

I've found it to be wholly inadequate at answering the kinds of questions I do have a lot of - stuff like "How to watch a list of objects using kubernetes controller-runtime?". The answer I got is entirely hallucinated.

For those I find myself still searching GitHub for example code and sometimes using stack overflow.

Because lift isn't a popularity contest?

[Engineering-MD]

Do you mean lift the framework or are you referring to something else?

[lacrimacida]

For most people they are though

"Most people" do a lot of stupid stuff, I don't really care what everyone else does. Because the majority of people do something is absolutely no justification.

At one point in time, > 50% of people used to smoke cigarettes too.
