my workflow with stackoverflow is to try to get working code that does the minimum of what I'm trying to do, and only try to understand it after it works as I want it to. otherwise there's an infinite amount of code out there that doesn't work (because of version incompatibility, plain wrong code, etc) and I ran out of patience long ago. if it doesn't run, I don't want to understand it.

This is in my opinion the right way to use it. You can use stackoverflow or ChatGPT to get to “It works!” But don’t stop there, stop at “It works, and I know why it works and I think this is the best way to do it.” If you just stop at “It works!” You didn’t learn anything and might be unknowingly making new problems.

My general philosophy as well.
