Completely agree, and for me it is not just about the easier/quicker access to information, but the interactivity. I can ask Claude to spend half an hour to create a learning plan for me, then refine it by explaining what I already know and where I see my main gaps.

And then I can, in the same context, ask questions while reading the articles suggested for learning. - There's also danger involved there, as the constant affirmation ("Great Point!", "You're absolutely right!") breeds overconfidence, but it has led me to learn quite a few things in a more formal capacity that I would have endlessly postponed before.

For example, I work quite a lot with k8s, but during the day, I'm always trying to solve a specific problem. I have never just sat down, and started reading about the architecture, design decisions, and underlying tech in a structured format. Now I have a detailed plan ready on how to fill my foundational gaps over the Christmas break, and this will hopefully save me time during the next big deployment/feature rollout.
