I usually combine both to unblock myself. Lately, SO, repository issues, or just going straight to the documentation of the package/crate seem to give me faster outcomes.

People have suggested that my prompts might not be optimal for the LLM. One even recommended I take a prompt engineering boot camp. I'm starting to think I’m too dumb to use LLMs to narrow my research sometimes. I’m fine with navigating SO toxicity, though it’s not much different from social media in general. It’s just how people are. You either take the best you can from it or let other people’s bad days affect yours.
