I generally agree with what you’ve said for sure. I think I’ve honestly started to use it for helping me to go pinpoint where to go look for issues in the spaghetti code of new code bases. I’ve also mostly tried to avoid using it in my personal coding time but I feel like it’s gotten harder and harder to get legitimately good search results nowadays which I realize is also because of ai. Given the choice I’d happily just erase it from existence I think. Spending hours sifting through reddit and stack overflow was way more fulfilling + I feel like people used to be slightly less prickly about answering stuff because that was how you had to get answers. It seems like lemmy could replace that space at least, I’ve genuinely gotten helpful comments and I’ve always felt downvotes on here have been productive versus what Reddit is now.
