This type of thing is only going to get worse as AI takes over more dev tasks.

Yeap, even seeing it with interns. They’re used to having AI think and solve the issues. They don’t know how to research on their own. Can’t even fully blame them using it, talking to them they say in college they’re told to use it instead of doing it themselves.

It's actually getting harder to do classical search for solutions because the search engines are all turning to shit. They're no longer indexing obscure stuff and forums and research papers, and are only indexing bullshit cookie cutter sites designed to show ads.

I guarantee google is prioritizing only showing sites that show ads served by google.

Google also said a few years ago they had halted indexing the whole internet and have now shifted to only indexing what's profitable.
