THE END of Stack Overflow!? 👩‍💻 #programmer #technology #softwaredeveloper #computerprogrammer

Question is answered right away, and you won’t be belittled for asking something that was already answered in 1998

Stack overflow users on their way to call you a dumbass and not answer your question

[mclama]

Chat gpt lacks the rudeness the occasional insultes and the downvotes

[kenbutsuri]

I had a question no one even asked before, one told me how stupid i am, answered the question in detail, then told me how stupid i am again.

I got blocked from asking questions on stack overflow because the questions I'd asked so far were "low quality". Being a beginner, I couldn't figure out how to improve the "quality" of these questions and deleting them didn't unblock me. So there I was, the person needing stack overflow the most, being locked out of stack overflow

[TatharNuar]

AI won't berate and shame me for "asking the wrong question" then not even answer it.

Also stack overflow is hella toxic, it is uncommon for you to get the actual answer you're looking for. You mostly either 1) are referred to another question because yours is a 'duplicate' but the answer to that question rarely helps at all, 2) are told that what you're trying to do is wrong or stupid or something else and you should do X instead (which might help in hobby projects but does not in large complicated codebases), or 3) are generally belittled and mocked.

Yea I remember when I was new to coding and I tried using stack overflow to ask a question I just got obliterated by everyone. Still one guy offered to help.

Because Stack Overflow is just like other QnA websites (especially Quora) : people WILL rather criticise the reason you ask than bring an actual answer, such as "Hey how do you split a string in Python? - Bro don't use Python it sucks"

[CodingWithLewis]

To be honest, I’ve been roasted on Stack Overflow lmfao

"Could you explain this basic concept to me? This is the purpose I'm trying to apply it to. Thanks"

[joeldoonan-ketteringham]

Theres also that stack overflow is on of the most toxic and cruel places to ask questions

[gnorse]

It's simple. AI doesn't have an ego.

[pranavdeshpande]

Stackoverflow is toxic, folks think that they won the goddamn Nobel prize because they understand XYZ tech in depth.

[kingdededelicious]

The only people that can ask questions on Stack Overflow are those with PhDs in asking questions

[Kiwipai]

I love it when the person asking is clearly new to programming and someone passive aggressively links them to a bunch of documentation. At that level it's like throwing a dictionary at someone for asking how to structue part of a novel.

[bkrxiii]

Main reasons, 1) people on there are super unfriendly. 2) ChatGPT’s got this.

[terrathaw]

As an occasional stack overflow user, I can confirm contributing to that hell site is torture. If Twitter is full of useless kids who think they're better than everyone, stack overflow has old ass neck beards with big tech salaries thinking they're better than everyone

[henrikmdev]

Haha I just made a video about this. Stack Overflow is still my personal favorite. The trick to using Stack Overflow is not to ask questions. It's to find people who already asked your question and then look at the answer with the most upvotes haha

[anishacini]

It is intimidating to ask a question, like when i was asking as a complete beginner, about things that i didn't find on the website, i get roasted and my intelligence insulted without an actual answer aside of "read the documentation"
