There's really good documentation out there and there's bad/nonexistent documentation. So stackoverflow is going to be a more consistent experience.

Also I think it is a bit of a skill to be able to read documentation well, especially for Jr. Devs that might not have fully grasped OOP.

Totally agree on the skill part. The ability to read documentation and understand it is extremely important. Especially if you need to coordinate with nonprogrammers like engineers, or if you work in fields that SO doesn't cover well like I do.

With chatgpt, I can just have the AI read it for me.
