Attention Rubyists! Doing an some-what-scientific poll for an upcoming blog post. Which search engine do you use (for Ruby questions)?

Follow up question for Rubyists. How/where do you ask for help with Ruby?

postmodern

Do you use StackOverflow for Ruby related questions?

Do you use ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or other LLMs, instead of using a search engine or asking for Ruby help?

How long have you been programming Ruby?

How would you rate your Ruby expertise?

@postmodern only when it pops up in the search results

@postmodern started programming with PHP around 2000-01, moved to ruby and didn't look back around 2005ish.

@postmodern I am truly interested in how this turns out. My guess is way more Greybeards than the other end

@postmodern does "building my own Ruby interpreter" count as greybeard level?
