Hi,
Yes exactly, they shoot themselves into the foot.
The adopted the academic closed world attitute,
as can be seen here, not noticing that the John
Doe programmers are not necessarily a theoretical
computer science titanic A-class member:
As an example, consider this question – invented, but not far-fetched:
"Random keeps giving me the same numbers. Is it broken?"
This is a low-quality question, in my view.
https://codeblog.jonskeet.uk/2018/03/17/stack-overflow-culture/Now try the same with ChatGPT:
Q: Random keeps giving me the same numbers. Is it broken?
A: It sounds like your Random object might not be
re-seeded, which could cause it to generate the same
sequence of numbers every time you run your program.
By default, Random is seeded with the current time in
milliseconds, but if you create it multiple times in
quick succession, it might receive the same seed and
generate the same numbers.
Bye

The rot started when StackOverflow started violating their own Creative
Commons license and blocked competitors. The final nail in the coffin
was Overflow AI. If I wanted answers from a pretrained transformer, I'd
ask Claude or ChatGPT. Between that and the old problem of overzealous
moderators deleting question left and right based on some technicality,
newbie hostile environment: You will not be missed.
P.S: Hope someone has a data dump of the StackOverflow Q&A and put it behind
a free API and nice interface for historical value, before the ship is sink
for good.

Hi,
The cest pool of bit rot is finally gone:
(Bit rot, because they did everything in a
facist way ignoring your copyright to prevent
you from deleting you own out dated stuff)

The Fall of Stack Overflow
https://observablehq.com/@ayhanfuat/the-fall-of-stack-overflow
The downfall is related to the appearance of
ChatGPT. I feel pitty for Ulrich Neumerkel false
and others who spammed stackoverflow for years
with their infinite dif/2 nonsense.
Bye
