Stack Overflow has seen a substantial decline in traffic over the last year that appears to be accelerating. https://observablehq.com/@ayhanfuat/the-fall-of-stack-overflow

    What do you mean by “stupid questions”?

        Ah, the prime example of a stack overflow user. Nice.

          The prime example of a SO user is being intentionally obtuse, demanding more detail even if the typical programmer would have a pretty clear picture of what is being asked. So yeah, projection much?

            And then asking, “why would you even try doing it like this?”

        Oh, thank you. Your use of reduplication helped my smooth brain process your comment properly.

            Code is something used by the Germans to defeat the Allies, they put code in their tanks and drove all the way to London to greet the English prime minister with a barrage of advanced warfare and AI-enabled crypto currencies.

        That doesn’t clarify anything at all, and in fact reflects a desire do denigrate people for asking honest questions.

      Probably questions that can be answered by RTFM

        LLM has RATFM and you can ask it directly

        Most questions can be answered by RTFM. That does not automatically mean the questions should not be asked.

        Proponents of RTFM seem to believe all manuals are written well, when that’s the exception and not the norm.

        If all you have to say is RTFM, everyone would be better off if you sat out the question and let others chime in. The overall posture reeks of ladder pulling.
