What kinds of things do you work on?

As a software engineer in aerospace, I have not really found it helpful. But neither has StackOverflow been as helpful to me as it clearly is to many. I think that what kinds of problems you're working on -- more specific than "software" -- likely plays into how helpful such resources can be.

The stuff I have been working on lately has consisted mostly of web apps that ingest and perform operations on PDFs and also, until recently, a fair bit of Leetcoding lol

In this context, I have used the LLMs to learn/fix/write about Docker, Google Cloud, Haskell, Nim, various Python libs and frameworks and language features, and various other sundry and misc topics.
