Once upon a Time

A programmer that goes through a book to look for an explanation on something, that goes to a library and does their own research using the local database viewer to search books by content and topic, that spends hours, days, weeks on this.

@CaptainRant I still use Google when knowing it's in the book. It's faster :p The books function is making me initially aware and fundamentals, once.

I replaced Google with Chatgpt search for a while. It was terrible. Something that we take for granted is the speed of Google. We're so used at smash, result. But with gpt as search engine you get annoyed as fuck.

@retoor I'm talking about ye way long ago, back in 1998. Heheheh. Yes, the internet may be faster. GPT is still in development, of course.

Yep, it's like math teachers telling kids not to use calculators so they use their brain.

reverse evolution has been going on for a while now
