Agreed. What you're describing (an immense library of problems and solutions) is essentially what's in the head of a very experienced developer. A system that helped surface those in a simple way for "new" problems so that people aren't constantly reinventing the wheel and making the same mistakes would be great. I've seen ideas about similar "tacit knowledge" systems in other domains (though I'm not sure there is a good one yet). For software, such a system would be way more helpful, and a much better goal, than this kind of idiot-savant gpt stuff
