    The only utility I’ve had with it is as a slightly more fancy document search. “Give me the syntax for [one line of code I want but can’t remember]” or “Give me the syntax to do a c# style .select() call in [language I am less familiar with]”

    And then I look at the docs and actually put the effort into understanding how the fuck things work.

    Using it for anything more than that is a mistake. You still need to understand the context of what it is you’re doing, you still need to think.
