I don't think AI is killing #StackOverflow; instead, it's the attitude of the users on there. I have seen many users attack people who ask questions. I see questions get downvoted because they are duplicates, or it's 'Why the hell do you want to do that?' When I see questions asked on Reddit or Discord, I notice that people are more welcoming and willing to help developers with their problems. I think that is because those platforms foster building communities. SO really dropped the ball there

A new era of Stack Overflow.

The #StackOverflow #Podcast: Attention isn’t all we need; we need ownership too

WTF happened to comments on #StackOverflow?!

Feature request #IPv6 (again)

First comment

I wonder if using #AI to perform #vibecoding is a bit like the mythical #perpetualmotion #machine ?

If #LLM s rely on scouring the net, for example #stackoverflow , won't there be less to learn from as coding is done using #AI ?

So, how will #LLM s improve?

Gotta say I'm not a fan of how #Stackoverflow handles a #GDPR request for one's own data.

First, there's no visible "self service" thing in my account settings, in contrast to what basically everyone else does.

When you DO find the data request form (https://policies.stackoverflow.co/data-request/) they make you fill out a bunch of stuff that wouldn't be necessary if they just offered a self-checkout.

Then a couple of confirmations (fair, they need to make sure it's not someone else impersonating). And then ...

Do you even remember why we were making websites in the first place?

Thanks ethical_haquer for the picture

RedMonk's programming language rankings show the most stability ever recorded! JavaScript still reigns supreme, but here's the twist: Stack Overflow usage dropped 90% thanks to AI, making their data about as reliable as debugging with console.log() in production

Stack Overflow survey: https://stackoverflow.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1MNG2CYTY2AzkAm?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=qualtrics&utm_campaign=dev-survey-2025&utm_content=share-link

Go tell 'em where they can shove the "AI" shit

On #StackOverflow, when a question starts with "I'm working on a project", in 99% of cases this means "Please implement this project for me".

Reminds me of How To Draw An Owl. They provide the circles and expect others to draw the rest of the f*cking owl.

De Stack Overflow survey gaat voor 95% over AI. En toch zijn het niet meer vragen dan voorheen. Al die andere dingen zijn blijkbaar niet meer interessant. Je mag nog een lijstje talen invullen die je kent, en hoeveel je verdient, en verder is het alleen maar AI AI AI AI Ai ai aiaiaiaia..

Oh ja, en wat je nou eigenlijk doet als je Stack Overflow bezoekt. "M'n oude antwoorden updaten als er comments op zijn gekomen" stond er niet tussen de keuzes.

Friends of #rstats and #StackOverflow this is becoming a habit but I need your help _again_ to re-open an #rexams question.

I had explained that the difference is important: graded vs. ungraded open-ended questions in NOPS exams. Someone flagged it as duplicate nevertheless.
