Stack Overflow caused people to abandon Stack Overflow. It was cesspool of hate where the longer it went on the more outdated answers became in the name of duplicates or other bullshit that was never helpful.

Makes you wonder what kind of person actually used it frequently. Or at least what kind of person it would take to moderate that mess.

The overly anal mods are the real reason, before there wasn’t much an alternative. Until they change that people will continue to leave.

Imagine being so awful that people defend Ai over you 🤣
I’m so happy to not have to care about my Stack Overflow score.

Stack Overflow and the arrogant “know it all” jerks made it an unpleasant place. Anything just a little more friendly will destroy these self proclaimed experts

Stack Overflow had always been Toxic Overflow.
Even before AI, people preferred to ask questions on Facebook support groups over Stack Overflow. I saw this for WordPress, WordPress plugins, SEO, web designers CSS help, etc.

Stack overflow is just jerks. I have moved to Microsoft Q&A for any MSFT related questions, which is the focus of most my work anyways.

Correction: Stack Overflow caused developers to abandon Stack Overflow for literally anything else.

What is Stack Overflow?

They trained it on Stack Overflow, why not?
Also you can ask ChatGPT a question without being banned.

In all fairness, when I ask AI a question, I get an answer without it making me feel like an incompetent, clueless idiot who should not just abandon coding, but life itself. So yeah, there’s that.

That’s what happens when you set moderation rules that suck on day 1 and rigidly follow them to the grave

i quit Stack a long time ago. I just got tired of the snark and way they aggressively removed questions they deemed too dumb, or basically yelled at you if you didn’t find a post that was already answered before. i won’t miss it.

I abandoned stack overflow because no one answered my questions. They told me I was stupid or told me my question was already answered by a 10 year old answer that didn’t work any more because the answer used deprecated methods.

Ai is soooooo much better than Stack Overflow lol.

Why would you use Stack Overflow when you have a personal stack overflow called ChatGPT in your pocket, that will answer all your questions, no matter how ridiculous it is?

Be kind. You catch more flies with honey.

No, it’s not AI.
Stack overflow is causing it. After it peaked like 10 years ago, they started to irritate users with rules and discouraged new ones.
cockflavoredlollip0p on
But this is why Microsoft acquired stack overflow to begin with, right? Used the entire thing to train their AI models for coding
