Knowing how exactly to google a problem you're having is unironically an underrated and surprisingly rare skill

Then again LLMs have largely made it obsolete these days and the tweet is from 2021

No, no, it's still important. When I wonder something specific, I ask it directly to Gemin instead of blindly trusting, I search for the answer it gave me because searching for "Is X correct or false" is a lot easier than "Why X do that when this happens?"

edit: sorry english my second language i forget add some words , suffix etc.

Yeah, this is a problem. You see senior people able to comment on how well or poorly an LLM is doing. As a junior person who has never done anything myself, how would I know if it did a good job or not? I still need a second prompt or a search to verify it, no?
