>Perhaps the only real solution is asking about what you want to do on messages boards, and hoping some weird old curmudgeon who is familiar with the small program you want to use sees your question.

I'm an AI curmudgeon in general but this is a place where LLMs really excel. You ask "how do I do x thing I want to do" and it either tells you, from the morass of docs it knows about, or it hallucinates and you find out ten seconds later when there's no man page for the command -- and then you fall back to traditional methods.

Either the LLM gives you a discoverability shortcut, or you're back where you started, anyway.
