In principal I agree, and it's not like I'm losing entire days to this sort of thing (well, once I did, but only once), but there's a tricky interplay of experience + lingering imposter syndrome. I do a fair bit of jumping around between languages and frameworks, so when I, say, come back to JS after being away for 6-9 months and I see something unfamiliar, there's usually a 60/40 split that it's a bug vs something the JS community has decided is a new "industry best practice". Before immediately going to the author asking for an explanation, I attempt to do my due diligence and be sure that I'm on the 60% side of that split.

It's just that lately the split has been more like 60/30/10 between bug, some new thing, and garbage AI spew.
