Agreed. I mainly use it for learning.

Instead of googling and skimming a couple blogs / so posts, I now just ask the AI. It pulls the exact info I need and sources it all. And being able to ask follow up questions is great.

It's great for learning new languages and frameworks

It's also very good at writing unit tests.

Also for recommending Frameworks/software for your use case.

I don't see it replacing developers, more reducing the number of developers needed. Like excel did for office workers.

You just described all of my use cases. I need to get more comfortable with copilot and codeium style services again, I enjoyed them 6 months ago to some extent. Unfortunately current employer has to be federally compliant with government security protocols and I'm not allowed to ship any code in or out of some dev machines. In lieu of that, I still run LLMs on another machine acting, like you mentioned, as sort of my stackoverflow replacement. I can describe anything or ask anything I want, and immediately get extremely specific custom code examples.

I really need to get codeium or copilot working again just to see if anything has changed in the models (I'm sure they have.)
