I notice you completely avoid the question on how a single developer can do so well ;)
I do think that search has gotten much worse but my ability to know the magic words like “ublock origin” instead of “Adblock” and “yt-dlp” instead of “download YouTube” and phrase my search has gotten better.
We’ve all been doing prompt engineering against the Internet-wide LLM that is the spam houses.

As much as I enjoy the notion of somehow being a 10,000X developer, it's probably mostly that modern search is a filtering problem, and MS does filtering fairly well.
