Recently I gave my first ever presentation at iO. It was about what it actually feels like to be a junior developer in a world where AI is just always there. This is a write-up of that talk, including what the room said back.

But you will not have learned much, if anything, by copy/pasting the answer.

Your ignorance is showing. The whole point of using SO to help troubleshoot problems is avoiding the troubleshooting stage and all the iterative work of cross-checking docs with parametric tests. The main deliverable of SO is not a magical code snippet but a root cause analysis on a particular failure. You end up with a nice summary of someone else's prior work troubleshooting the same issue, and a clear indication that X causes Y because of Foo.

And you do not get that by reading official docs documenting the happy flow. You'd know that if you had any relevant experience developing software.
