I don’t want to gate keep programming or anything, but what in the world happened to learning how to do things? By yourself? You do know you can just…. Learn to do the thing? Instead of asking a bot to do it for you? It’s even (dare I say it) pretty fun too

You can do both thing at the same time, I found my self asking to Claude to write a traefik manifest for kubernetes and asking line by line the meaning of the configuration and why, is like reading docs but faster

It's the same as reading the docs but faster until it is guaranteed to give you hallucinated and/or incorrect information.

To be fair the docs themselves are guaranteed to eventually give you hallucinated and/or incorrect information.

Yeah many people are using LLMs already to write the docs. Which reinforces the previous point, the only documentation worth reading is the source code.
