This is key for me as well. If I think about how I put together answers to coding questions, I’m usually looking at a couple SO pages, maybe picking ideas from lower-down answers.. just like in a search engine it’s never the first result, it’s a bit of a dig. You just have to learn how to dig a different way. But then at that point I’m like, is this actually saving me time?

My sense is that over time, LLM-style “search” is going to get better and better at these kinds of back-and-forth conversations, until at some point in the future the people who have really been learning how to do it will outpace people who stuck with trad search. But I think that’ll be gradual.
