As a novice coder, it has been invaluable. I don't have time to read through an entire documentation, just to figure out that the library can't do what I want. I have an unrelated day job. I just want to ask "how do I do X with Y library, or is there a better library I should be using?"

Yeah it can be useful for that but don't learn to rely on it, it will honestly just bite you in the ass if you do.

It points me in the right direction so I can actually read the *relevant* docs. I am a novice coder, but I am very familiar with hallucinations. I've been running local models for a couple years now. I understand that it's just a next token predictor.

That said, you might find some benefit in allowing a model to autofill boilerplate code for you. I don't program enough for it to be worth my time to set that up (I also use NVChad and there aren't a lot of easy tutorials for that, like there are with something like sublime or vscode)
