I have a sort of technical blog where I write about some how-tos and
some software tricks. I really enjoyed writing it, and I myself have
gone to it to search for things that I know that I knew, and that I've
forgotten.

But is it worth it?

I mean, most people just query the chatbot to solve that kind of
questions these days. Even myself.

What is the point in reading that your solution is of the form
`" ".join(x)` if your list is not named `x`, and you don't want to join by
space? All this seems so surreal now. We, as a civilization, have been
building (and harvesting, and treasuring) knowledge for ages, but now we
feel so tempted to dump all of it on the side, because asking the LLM is
more practical.

So, should I inconvenience myself with writing a how-to that no one is
going to read, not even me? Or should I resist the trend and keep on
learning and passing on what I learn?

Is it worth it?
