The guys on LTT mentioned this during their Linux challenge, but I’ve found it to be true -
Scouring forums for answers to obscure errors used to take hours. Now I just throw it at Gemini, troubleshoot in real time and find the fix.
I’ve even started asking it to give me a PDF of the steps we took and filing them away for future me.
I like to ask it for a beautiful html page instead of a pdf. PDFs are a pain later on.
Tonight I spent the time spinning up a silverbullet instance and converting the PDFs to .md files. You’re right, PDFs aren’t searchable and will be a pain as the database grows.
Thanks for sharing :)
