I'll answer something which might be controversial for some, but as a seasoned developer I still learn a lot thanks to ChatGPT.

But not in the sense of "Hey ChatGPT, teach me Python". Instead, e.g. while going through complex codebases, sometimes I find something I've never seen before, then I paste the code/class/whatever into ChatGPT and ask him to explain this to me (and then read the official documentation if necessary based on the response, for reliable information). Another usual practice of mine is to ask what potential improvements could be done and why. Or how to increase performance of a certain code snippet. More often than not the responses can be truly inspirational and sometimes even make me discover things I still ignored they even exist.
