I trialed GitHub Copilot and used ChatGPT for a bit, but recently I found myself using them less and less.

I’ve found them valuable when doing something new(at least to me), but for most of my day-to-day it seems to have lost it’s luster.

    Doing web-dev it’s not uncommon for me to run into libraries with poor documentation or missing examples. I could spend a lot of time trying to find the official docs, read through pages, not really find what I’m looking for, go to stackoverflow, maybe find something better maybe not. Now my first step is just asking ChatGPT my question. More often than not it gives me a working example, I get an answer faster than it would take to navigate official docs, and I can immediately get answers to followup questions or ask it to modify the example to be closer to what I actually need for my application.
