30 seconds of asking ChatGPT can save you time reading documentation. Hell, in the future it can even save your employer money from not paying you!

On the other hand: Let me tell you the history of my thinking on this library before I show you the 5 minutes of documentation I buried in my manifesto.

Wait, you guys get documentation?

I'm in this picture and I don't like it
