Perplexity has turned adding push notifications to flotilla from a multi-week ordeal of navigating labyrinthine documentation to a two-hour thing (apart from the problem of how to actually implement the push notification server).
Google/Amazon/Apple docs are full of conditionals: "For a local development environment, you can set up ADC with your user credentials or with service account impersonation by using the gcloud CLI. For production environments, you set up ADC by attaching a service account."
Perplexity: "Go to the Firebase Console and select your project. Navigate to Project Settings > Service Accounts. Click "Generate New Private Key" to download a JSON file containing your credentials3."
Understanding the system architecture of Google's entire authentication system is not important for my job as a developer. I just want the thing to work, just give me a key. If I ever need to "attach a service account" I will figure it out at that point, probably using AI.
I'm so glad I can spend more time coding and less time reading awful documentation.
