@lewismenelaws: stack overflow exists purely out of spite 💀 in the mid-2000s you'd pay experts exchange to read answers that were written by other programmers for free two bloggers said no. built stack overflow in 2008. free to read, free to ask, free to answer then it became its own gatekeeper. closed as duplicate #programming #coding #softwareengineer #techtok #stackoverflow #fyp #techhistory

hojit84726 :

pretty much dead after ai

andrewky5 :

And now Claude took over.

михаил вълчев :

stackoverflow is one of the most toxic places. People are rushing to respond to silly questions just for the rating, but hard ones are actually empty

WetWater :

and then someone stole all of that and charged developers again. crazy cycle

baking.brain :

Stack overflow is dead.

￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ :

Don’t remind me of that toxic place 😉

🕴️ :

Was originally at expertsexchange.com they added the - because everyone referred to it by the three words in that domain

Gilad Grushkovsky :

I think you forgot about the code project which was pretty awesome for a while

Dmitriy Nazaratiy :

In my years of using stack overflow I didn’t see a single “closed as duplicate” that wasn’t a real duplicate. So I’m unsure what author is blaming here

misho9000 :

Stackoverflow is just one out of many communities under the StackExchange network. You can find many interesting answers for various topics like languages, mathematics, gaming, DIY, etc. (stackexchange.com/sites)

djapal :

in order to decide what to post at stackoverflow ,you had to be 100000% sure.now with lots you ask again and again without hesitation

abi :

i learned a lot

ken94110 :

Nothing is worse than asking a question online and people who really don't know the answer but think they do, responding and then you have to sift thru a lot of garbage 🗑️But thanks to AI 🤖 I haven't bothered reading any forums anymore

Mika Lindqvist :

Duplicate questions just waste server space. If there is no limiting of questions the site would end up as playground of trolls. It’s not a bad thing.

Chris Moore🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 :

Oh yeah. I remember hating Experts Exchange.

AboOD :

I remember that I asked a question and it was closed due to duplication with another question, but that question was in a different language, a different system, and basically different in everything.

Julianto Lim :

LLM took over

Mr Tshaba :

monace 🏳️‍🌈🇮🇸 :

when i was starting out almost when stack overflow was only starting i got the “too stupid of a question” and never really came back to asking anything again. there were no guidelines or anything like that today i am a cto and always respect all types of questions

another feminist 🏳️‍⚧️ :

chatGPT killed it

kobbyist :

existed*

/var/home/bavi :

experts exchange is making a comeback by policing AI use iirc

️⃝ᅠᅠ  ️⃝ᅠ  ️⃝ᅠ⃝ᅠᅠ  ️ :

Yeah just make it easier for them to take our jobs💔

DragonDescendants :

i hate google for now allowing blacklisted pages from my search, like all that paywall pages

Ben 🇨🇦 :

I've been coding for 19 years. Stack overflow has given me solutions to a million problems, which is why I trained an AI model on every stack overflow post so I never have to go there again lol
