Comment on The Fall of Stack Overflow
gnus_migrate@programming.dev 1 year agoHey, if people are going to go back to reading manuals like we’re in the 1980’s again is it such a bad thing? /s
It’s insane how a single tool managed to completely destroy the value collectively created by people in over a decade.

That single tool is still propped up by that collective decade of knowledge. ChatGPT would be nothing without sites like stackoverflow

Yeah but will people still care about contributing that information if they’re not going to be compensated for it in any way? Like people get something out of contributing to stack overflow, even if it’s just recognition. This is gone with ChatGPT.
