I have met few colleagues in my career who bothered to read the official documentation, even when failing to find the answer on Google. Most would either just give up and say the problem is unsolvable (it never was) or try hack after hack until something stuck, never knowing why it worked.


Try not to get hired by any large company, otherwise you might find you need to change your mind.
That 10% is ideally “creating value” for the customer. Boilerplate code is not value, therefore outsource it to LLMs.
I agree you can find an answer quickly on SO. And you can find it even faster by asking an AI. But you will not have learned much, if anything, by copy/pasting the answer. As opposed to reading the documentation, which might have taught you how to solve similar issues in the future.
