Yeah, most of my dev time is spent reading, and I'm a pretty fast typist, so I never bothered.
Maybe I'll try it eventually. But my boss isn't a fan anyway, so I'm in no hurry.
It can be useful in explaining concepts you're unsure about, in regards to the reading part, but you should always verify that information.
But it has helped me understand certain concepts in the past, where I struggled with finding good explanations using a search engine.
Ah, ok. I'm pretty good with concepts (been a dev for 15-ish years), I'm usually searching for specific API usage or syntax, and the official docs are more reliable anyway. So the biggest win would probably be codegen, but that's also a relatively small part of my job, which is mostly code reviews and planning.
