ManchuckI don't think AI is killing <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/StackOverflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StackOverflow</a>; instead, it's the attitude of the users on there. I have seen many users attack people who ask questions. I see questions get downvoted because they are duplicates, or it's 'Why the hell do you want to do that?' When I see questions asked on Reddit or Discord, I notice that people are more welcoming and willing to help developers with their problems. I think that is because those platforms foster building communities. SO really dropped the ball there

IBBoardA new error of Stack Overflow 😑Also, there's apparently a lot of developers who I REALLY can't understand: " 83% [of developers say] they use or plan to use AI tools in their development process this year, an increase over 2024 (76%). However, the lack of trust in AI tools also continues to rise with 46% of respondents saying they do not trust the output of AI, up significantly from 26% last year."Even if we assume that the full 17% of non-users are in the "do not trust" group, that's still 29% of respondents using it or wanting to use it while distrusting the output! THAT'S OVER A THIRD! 🙄Why would you do that to yourself? It's not even like there's lock-in and the product got worse and that's why there's conflicted users. It started bad, continued to be bad, and can't solve its fundamental problems.<a href="https://stackoverflow.blog/2025/07/10/a-new-era-of-stack-overflow/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://stackoverflow.blog/2025/07/10/a-new-era-of-stack-overflow/</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/GenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenAI</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/StackOverflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StackOverflow</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#programming</a>

ClaudiusGotta say, with all the very clever gamification that has been put into <a href="https://darmstadt.social/tags/StackOverflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StackOverflow</a> itself, this process feels like the exact opposite. It feels borderline hostile every step of the way. And because we know SO can do better, it doesn't feel like "stupidity" or "carelessness", it feels like "we don't want you here, so we're making this aspect of our business miserable for you".

Claudius... a couple of days later you get an email with a link to their internal platform, (this is where I failed my 5 captchas <a href="https://darmstadt.social/@claudius/114774605975131313" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://darmstadt.social/@claudius/114774605975131313</a> ).You are presented with a JSON file with no explanation whatsoever (I reckon that's fine for the audience), but that json file contains almost nothing.It you think about the treasure trove of data <a href="https://darmstadt.social/tags/StackOverflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StackOverflow</a> clearly keeps about its visitors, there's NOTHING of that in that JSON.I honestly would have expected better from them :-/

And then ...
