AI. It’s soooo much easier to ask an LLM your question. Even if its answer is wrong, at least it’s not an asshole
It doesn’t just whine that someone’s already answered the question. Oh it has been asked? Then link to the fucking answer!
My biggest pet peeve is when the first Google result for stack overflow is someone bitching at the asker to Google the question.
stack overflow is great if you want to be berated, given an irrelevant solution, and then have your question closed as a duplicate incorrectly
Exactly. It’s a good place to look for an answer, but if the answer isn’t there, save yourself from the angry mob and ask chatGPT.

It’s notable that a major part of the drop happened before chatgpt was even released. Lots of good explanations here already for why that might be.
My personal anecdote is that it’s almost useless in relation to modern react (ts&functional). New questions aren’t being answered and old ones were answered with react& js or even jquery.
