I don’t know about you, but I always feel happy when my questions are answered there.

Benefits and usage of Stack Overflow for getting answers to programming questions.

Are you still using stack overflow?

Same. AI does not always provide correct answers that we need. In today’s world we still need our googling skills.
Meanwhile, whenever I go to StackOverflow, StackExchange, SuperUser, AskUbuntu I feel blessed to see my questions already answered there.
: D XD

Im always terrified to ask anything… Don’t wanna look stoopid and get yelled at. 00 00 00

Yes and no? I usually hit Perplexity first now… not like I ever used SO as a search to begin with.
I’ve also only ever had about 1 or 2 questions answered. One of which was with regards to jOOQ, so you’re pretty much guaranteed that Lukas Eder is going to answer. He’s a great guy, but I think his habit of answering nearly every jOOQ question preclude the “kind person” qualifier here. 😄

Stack overflow is better than my parents :)

StackOverflow is great when looking for out dated content lol. They should down grade search results in google for old results
