At one time, people programmed without google or search engines. They literally used thick ass books, and had to read through them and then type out what they saw in the book. Today, that sounds absurd.
Then came stack overflow and google. We search, pray we get a good result or someone else took the time to ask the question, then read (and sometimes copy+paste).
Then AI assistants. I'm not exactly sure what's next, but I do think coding without some type of AI assistant will be extremely antiquated very soon. I already use it all the time. I never want to go back.
The next generation will look at finding answers via SO, google, and random forums just as we look at people use used books -- as an absurdly inefficient way to do a job

Even if it's absurd I still like to buy physical books. The information is better structured and I like holding a book and turning pages.
