alt Hacker NewsAll the boring stuff you skipped to get right to the answer you want was just as important whether you want to admit it or not.
Having to read through a structured resource describing something to figure something out has intrinsic value that an LLM is not going to provide you with.

Well, no, it might not be important. Maybe you won't use that knowledge about CSS grids and flexbox for another year or two, or maybe ever.

This is obviously not the case. There are mountains and mountains of boring, unimportant stuff that LLMs can do for us now.
For example, at work I can now make a nestJS dashboard without having any idea what nestJS is. I can just tell the LLM what I want, and it makes it so. This allows me to make my tool useful to people without having to become an expert on something unimportant.
