just kidding, but this was a huge issue.

You may notice that their decline starts before LLM's rise begins. Cultivating an environment where specialists collect power through hostility to understandable mistakes and good faith questions was their real undoing, and it happened years ago.

Blaming AI is such a sad excuse.

By their own chart, StackOverflow’s decline started at least five years before the popularity of LLMs skyrocketed.

Meanwhile, as a developer I feel like I wasn’t using Stack Overflow at all by 2020.
