Before, I would use stack overflow and it would take me at least a week.
They use Java - a language I literally haven’t used since maybe a year after it was introduced.
I used ChatGPT to create the source code for the sample based on my specifications including Junit tests, the build with Maven, the Dockerfile - everything.
Of course it got a few things wrong and missed steps and I had to keep pasting in error messages until it got it right. But it was still faster than trolling the internet.
Of course I was very up front with the client that the Java pieces were all generated by ChatGPT.
I'm guessing you mean trawling the internet rather than trying to upset and annoy the internet:)
> the act of searching among a large number or many different places in order to find people or information you want
> It takes me 45 minutes of trolling on the internet and I’m still confused.

I see as well that the US English spelling for "trawl" (as in fishing) is troll. Again, mainly US.
And I assume trawling vs trolling is one of those things that you feel the urge to point out just like I hate when someone says “jive” instead of “jibe”.
That last sentence was not meant to be passive aggressive at all. It was just an observation.
I certainly didn't read it that way. It just stood out because British English is my native language.
