    That’s my issue with AI. I go to AI after my skills, the documentation and google failed me. Then I go to ChatGPT to get lied to, because ChatGPT doesn’t know either.

    And almost without fail, AI doesn’t help me there.

    The only thing where AI helps is AI autocomplete in die IDE, if I am doing something very simple and monotonous, then it helps me to sometimes reduce my typing speed a little bit compared to regular autocomplete.

    But typing time is like 0.5% of the time I spend developing stuff.
