My boss used to say: "there is an easy way and there is the cool way".

We no longer have StackOverflow. We no longer have Google, effectively.

I used to be able to copy pasta code with incredible speed - now all of that is gone.

Chatbots is all we have. And they are not that bad at search, with no sponsored results to weed through. For now.

Veering offtopic a bit... Google lost its (search) way years ago. See the "The Man who Killed Google Search" [1], and the room they left for alternatives like DuckDuckGo.

At work, we have full access to Claude, and I find that I now use that instead of doing a search. Sure it's not 100% reliable, but neither is search anyhow, and at least I save time from sifting through a dozen crappy content farms.

When you use a search engine, you can evalute the "trustness" of the source (webpage), this essentially disappears when using a chatbot

Only if you're dumb about it. Asking for source links is one thing I do all the time, and chatgpt gives citations by default.
