I’m pretty sure every time you use AI for programming your brain atrophies a little, even if you’re just looking something up. There’s value in the struggle.

I assume you were joking but some studies have come out recently that found this is exactly what happens and for more than just programming. (sorry it was a while ago so I dont have links)

Some of these takeaways are crazy:

• Users often do not have time to thoroughly read release notes or migration guides.
• …many users will install a major release before reading the release notes

Its a major release. You shouldnt be upgrading without reading release notes and the migration guide. Especially not when there was such a publicized lead up to it

Sometimes when I read about a new study, I find myself thinking “duh, of course” or “why did we need a study to prove this super obvious thing”. I have to remind myself that its always valuable to check assumptions and we can learn a lot even by studying obvious questions.
