StackOverflow losing users isn’t bad.

I still use it daily, and the quality of the Q&A threads feels higher since LLMs went mainstream.

AI for the simple stuff, StackOverflow for the hard stuff.

Co-Founder at sablier.com, and open-source developer. I have a broad range of interests, including longevity, epistemology, physics, and psychology.

I forget who posted about this the other day and suggested it would be bad bc llms won’t have new stuff to train on but my thought process was like yours, probably just means the discussion that remains ends up more high level as low end users utilize AI to scrape the answers for easier more solved things. 

I gotta imagine there’s a lot of replication too bc every forum I’ve ever been in is full of ppl crashing out for repeat threads by users too lazy to search.
