   Stackoverflow questions down 66% in 2023 compared to 2020. AI/LLM is what happened to the SO. What do you think?

     @nixCraft I took my question asking elsewhere, as I was sick of the snarky, sarcastic answers there.

     @nixCraft The few times I've asked smthing have been a terrible experience. I once asked in CS exchange why a problem was in a certain complexity class, and the first response was "it is obvious from the definition".

     Like no shit.

     @nixCraft I have never needed to ask a question on Stack Overflow because they have all been asked and answered before. Perhaps it has reached the point of being a comprehensive knowledge repository?

     @nixCraft at least 10 years ago Stackoverflow was getting unfriendly and unusable (answers burried under BS interactions). I can't imagine how bad it must be now that toxic has become normalized and acceptable online.
