Valid questions. I just think it's faster. One action on tomdn.com instead of 1. DDG "array.map mdn", 2. Find MDN result (usually first), 3. Click result, 4. See docs.
Bangs are great, just shorter again to use tomdn.com:
- `!mdn array.map` leads me to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=array.map https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=array.map, which I have to scan the results and click on.
- tomdn.com?array.map leads me to the exact page in the docs. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Javascript/Reference/Global_Objects/array/map https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Javascript/Refe...
This may or may not be valuable, but I like saving the extra steps for something I do many times a week. Basically this calculation (https://xkcd.com/1205/ https://xkcd.com/1205/) works out for me + the fun of working on a new project.
