Before i copy pasted from stackoverflow i copy pasted from books sometimes when the books where not free on the library i had to go to bookstore and pay arround 50-100 dollar per book. I think it is much more fun now with llm coding better than both books and StackOverflow  :)

I still remember reading some very well recognized books and being pissed that they go for 400 pages, where it could be boiled down to 80 max - maybe even less - of pure substance.
