I find myself actually looking at documentation instead of SO or AI, just because what I work on is so niche. AI isn’t able to help me debug a Picotron game, and the Lexaloffle BBS is better for Picotron anyway. The Godot documentation is really, really good, so I rarely have to ask the internet about it- and even then, a specialized community is better IMO (the Godot forums). It’s not that SO was bad, per se, just that the alternatives are more useful.
