  Have you read Microsoft manuals?

    Ok, I’ll use the “usually” wildcard to absorb this one.

    Odds are that ChatGPT can help you better with C# than the documentation. It’s also easier to navigate because you only need to know the answer before being able to make a good question, while merely knowing the answer and having a search engine won’t help you find the right Microsoft doc.

      The docs for C# are stellar imo

  Sometimes whatever you are working with will have outdated or really poor docs, so an advanced internet info aggregator is useful in that sense.

  I started learning nix before chatgpt and it was a nightmare. I had to continually ask for help on discord, of all places, for things that should really be in the docs.

  Chatgpt makes nix easier, except not really because it’s info is outdated a lot of the time.
