I've not read a programming book for years, even before LLMs came on the scene. Didn't see the need to when there's so much information online.

These days, I don't use LLMs for actual programming but will ask them questions in lieu of doing a web search. It's like documentation I can chat to. Basically a more efficient blog post or book chapter that happens to be dedicated to whatever it is I'm working on.
