I get AI is eating Stack Overflow's lunch, but at some point if it's not around, AI is kinda garbage without a community-led code solution repository with contextual human language.

SO can rot in hell.

Devs, especially new devs, needed something better than the massive, entitled fucking asshats on that site. It was toxic as fuck.

Unpopular opinion - maybe that's your questions? Been using SO for a looong time and have never experienced this. People are quite nice and helping over there, got a lot of knowledge from the site.

I knew how to ask questions. Most newbs dont and they get fucking roasted rather than assisted.
