A recent post went viral called The Fall of Stack Overflow detailing how it’s traffic has dropped 35-50% over the last year and a half. The most drastic drop starts around April of 2022, while ChatGPT came out 7 months later in November.

The Fall of Stack Overflow, Explained

2. Stack Overflow is hostile to its users

3. Google Search ranks Stack Overflow lower now.

Despite all the problems with stackoverflow I still haven’t replaced it with AI.
Too often, AIs are too confident and give totally wrong awsers. ChatGPT has never been able to give me an answer to a question for which I myself was unable to find a solution. Basically, it only knows how to answer easy questions for with a solution already exist somewhere.

Oh stackoverflow, how much i miss you

It’s good just I wish they would down rank old posts in Google

Deserved, the constant disregard from this community is unbearable.
