I feel exactly the same way. why skim and sift 15 different stackoverflow posts when an LLM can pick out exactly the info I need?

I don't need to spin up an entire feature in a few seconds. I need help understanding where something is broken; what are some opinions o best practice; or finding out what a poorly written snippet is doing.

context still v important for this though and I appreciate cranking that capacity. "read 15000 stackoverflow posts for me please"

The action of sifting through through poop to find gold actually positively develops my critical thinking skill. I, too, went through a phase of just asking LLM for a specific concept instead of Googling it and weave through dozens of wiki pages or niche mailing list discussions. It did improve my productivity but I feel like it dulls my brain. So recently I have to tone that down and force myself to go back to the old way. Maybe too much of a good thing is bad.
