If anything I find books even more valuable now. They are the source for your LLMs after all. I like to read the author's own voice rather than have it regurgitated in generic form by an LLM.
Most people didn't read before LLMs and they'll still not read now, of course.
I agree, but basically my main use case for LLMs is just asking for clarification about programming questions/concepts since books don't always explain things in the most immediately understandable manner for all readers and you often have follow-up questions that the book doesn't proactively anticipate or answer.
I've not bought anything on humble bundle in ages now. The prices have increased greatly. I'm sure the content is good but just not that spontaneous purchase anymore
I wonder if interest in programming books is plummeting at this point.
An Isac Asimov book about a spaceship stranded in space without anyone on the team having the knowledge to repair it comes to mind.
