Is it possible to teach llm to read issues and answer questions such as how do I get angular 17 to output to dist instead of dist/browser with you can't do this with angular. However, in your CI CD pipeline, you can do a mv or robocopy or bla bla bla depending on context?

https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/26028

It would be very useful because there are so many edge cases that aren't covered in the docs but are probably available in some kind of WON'T FIX issues.

I don't think I've used it in ages. Maybe part of maturing as a developer, most answers I started to find there were expected and not covering the problems I faced, so usually original docs are the only reliable source, and maybe a GH issue to interact directly with the author. So I guess a tool to surface information straight from docs beats SO. Also won't complain about not having to deal with legitimate questions being closed due to "reasons".

So another RAG product? I do like the ability to specify your knowledge and qualification level to help steer the output.

Great, all I ever wanted was a hallucinated manual.

1. Hallucinate the Manual; 2. Hallucinate Tests based on the Manual; 3. Hallucinate the Code to pass the Tests; Voila! You hallucinated the whole software!

4. Hallucinate the satisfied customer.

I'm so used to links not being underlined, I tried clicking the orange 'Copilot for docs' about 4 times !

Even the text which is underlined isn't a link lol.

Underlined, and has an on-hover color change!

Same for me. The issue tracker is usually the most interesting place to figure out why it's not working as expected while in the beginning of my career it was oftentimes SO.
