Stack overflow is almost dead
Stack overflow is almost dead
Today, Stack overflow has almost as few questions asked per month, as when it launched back in 2009. A recap of its slow, then rapid, downfall.
Four months ago, we asked Are LLMs making Stack Overflow irrelevant? Data at the time suggested that the answer is likely "yes:"
You're viewing a single thread.
Even without LLMs, it’s possible StackOverflow would have eventually faded into irrelevance
Yeah, exactly. A lot of groups have a Discord :( or other forums where people ask questions. I know I've had to ask questions on Svelte's Discord :( for example. And I think even once on some YouTube influencer's Slack...
Sucks cuz both of those places are silos and my questions and answers are forever lost.
It's not like discord is any better than SO. It's a closed platform, often with no read access if you don't want to register, and it's not searchable in the slightest.
I would take SO any day over discord.
Yep. 200% agree. I still post questions on SO, but when I don't get any answers, then I have to go to Discord... :(
Can people access to discord from corporate networks? I'm fucked if the Google answer gave me reddit or github as the answers because they're blocked.
I don't know, but for reddit you may try one of the redlib instances, and gothub for github. I don't think discord has such frontends
Github is blocked for you? Bruh
I had to open a ticket for them to unblock the python pep pages! I was trying to teach my intern the pep-8 and didn't had access. Fucking crazy.
How does that even get on a blocklist 😭
Don't want the slaves reading the GPL and getting ideas.
Projects that use Discord for support piss me right off. What a stupid way to keep answering the same question over and over again.
