I'm in similar situations, I jump between many environments, mainly between Python and Typescript, however, currently testing a new idea of learning algorithm in C++, and I simply don't always remember all syntax. I was very skeptical about LLMs at first. Now, I'm using LLMs daily. I can focus more on thinking rather than searching stackoverflow. Very often I just need simple function, that it is much faster to create with chat.

And if anyone remembers: before Stack Overflow you more or less had to specialize in a domain, become good using a handful of frameworks/API, on one platform. Learning a new language, a new API (god forbid a new platform) was to sail, months long, into seas unknown.

In this regard, with first Stack Overflow and now LLMs, the field has improved mightily.
