And doesn't that bother you a little?

Look, every medicine is a poison as well. Every single byte of code I commit I fully understand. I am strongly against slop.

However I'm not going back to asking stackoverflow and pretend that I have nowhere else to find answers.

That's not your only option.

What you're meant to do is understand the tools you're using well enough to not need to ask for help from anyone or anything else. Stack Overflow is useful, but it's a learning tool. If all you were doing before AI was copying and modifying other people's code, it's no wonder that you have taken to AI, because it's just a slightly more convenient form of that.

StackOverflow was also full of knowledgeable but objectionable people. I'm very glad not to have that energy in my life any more. Those that hate LLMs are welcome to continue using StackOverflow but I shan't be.
