Stack overflow is almost dead
(blog.pragmaticengineer.com)
Not necessarily directly, many people may have abandoned learning programming because of LLMs, rather than Stack Overflow specifically.
You’re pulling this out of your ass. That is completely made up.
Ai haters out there, doesn't this give a valid use case for LLM?
SO is a collaborative encyclopedia of technical discussion that tries to be relevant, be practical, and to not constantly repeat topics.
LLMs can't provide that structure, they just shit out answers.
Most people think SO is a help desk and don't appreciate the structure and just want it to shit out an answer.
Maybe SO isn't dying so much as a cancerous growth is being treated.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
