> 1) questions about frameworks/languages that I don't work in much and for which there is a lot of example content Books and manuals, they're pretty great for introductory materials. And for advanced stuff, you have to grok these first. > 2) very specific questions I would have done a Google Search (usually StackOverflow) for ("what's the most efficient way to CPU and RAM usage on Windows using python") I usually go backwards for such questions, searching for not what I want to do, but how it would look like if it exists. And my search-fu have not failed me that much in that regards, but that requires knowledge on how those things work, which again goes back to books and other such materials. > 3) boilerplate code that I already know how to write but saves me a little time and avoids typing errors. Snippets and templates in my editor. And example code in the documentation. 4) a quick way to search documentation I usually have a few browser tabs open for whatever modules I'm using, plus whatever the IDE has, and PDFs and manual pages,... For me, LLMs feel like building a rocketship to get groceries at the next village, and then hand-waving the risks of explosions and whether it would actually get you there.
