I am curious about this usecase. Can you share a couple examples? So far I’ve heard a few opinions like yours, but I always fail to connect the abstract “it’s a good alternative to browsing stackoverflow” to a concrete outcome. Can you share one or more concrete outcomes so I can grasp the usefulness and behaviour of this tool better?
Edit: I should add that so far I’m strongly against LLMs, because all my interactions with this tool have come from developers using LLMs to write code that usually compiles and sometimes even works correctly in a local sense, but inevitably causes bugs because neither the tool nor the user of the tool understand the interactions with other systems. In that sense, I’d rather not have a tool that allows anybody to disguise as a programmer only to then break stuff that than I am required to fix. So I spend time fixing stupid bugs while they spend time delegating the fun part of the job (designing new systems and interactions) to tools that lack the capability to understand.
Well “lifechanging” doesn’t need to be this big transition. For me it’s a bunch of small conveniences. Getting out of your IDE and browse the web to find a solution that only solves half your problem is just a hassle. Now I ask Claude to help me and I get a solution in the context of my own code, meaning it’s directly applicable.

Linux if you are a brain dead idiot like me.
I tell it what I need, it will explain the concepts and provide commands. I can provide it my outputs and it can self correct too.
