I miss the days when I had to go through a humiliation ritual before getting my questions answered.Now days you can just ask your questions from an infinitely patient entity, AI is really terrible.

Is the drop all due to AI?

The fast drop yes, but really it’s been in decline for around a decade before that.

That sucks, is there an alternative people are using? seems like it would still be a useful knowledge base to have

Think in the future LLMs will perform worse on modern problems due to the lack of recent StackOverflow training data?

I think so. I am legitimately worried about what happens in 10 years with everyone relying on llms to code when nobody seems to be planning for how things will work when LLM coding is nearly universal

I do wonder if a new programming language will be invented that is 'ai friendly' and far more better integrated

The common alternative is to just ask ChatGPT your software questions, get false information from the AI, and then try and push that horrible code to production anyway if my past two jobs are any indicator.
Stack Overflow is still useful to find old answers, but fucking sucks to ask new questions on. If you aren't getting an AI answer to your question, then you're getting your question deleted for some made up reason.
The real answer that everyone hates is: If you have a question about something, read the documentation and experiment with it to figure that something out. If the documentation seems wrong, submit an issue report to the devs (usually on GitHub) and see what they say.
The secondary answer is that almost everything FOSS has a slack channel or even sometimes discord channels. Go to the channels and ask people who use/make whatever tool you need help with.

If you have developers pushing bad and broken code to production your problem isn't AI.

They push their slop into MRs and get their hand smacked for now, I can't imagine it'll stay that way forever

isn't it strange then that you don't already have an AI overlord then?
