I mean, if you're already competent in what you're doing, it probably won't help, but I've found they are very helpful when learning a new system.

Like it might turn 10 searches about how a language works into 1 or 2.

So I don't have to look up type conversions, or proper loop syntax or if have to pipe in a a blank object into this function or I can just leave it null etc. And can just look up hoe to fix that 1 error it gave me instead.

It's pretty much the exact same cost-benifit as stealing code off of stack overflow.
