@gedankenstuecke really nice and interesting article. It made me think about #StackOverflow where active members vote to elect new moderators, and there is a "meta-discussion" where some decision-making topics are covered, although I think not related to the directions the product could take.
#Stackoverflow
Stack Overflow survey: https://stackoverflow.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1MNG2CYTY2AzkAm?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=qualtrics&utm_campaign=dev-survey-2025&utm_content=share-link
Go tell 'em where they can shove the "AI" shit
On #StackOverflow, when a question starts with "I'm working on a project", in 99% of cases this means "Please implement this project for me".
Reminds me of How To Draw An Owl. They provide the circles and expect others to draw the rest of the f*cking owl.
De Stack Overflow survey gaat voor 95% over AI. En toch zijn het niet meer vragen dan voorheen. Al die andere dingen zijn blijkbaar niet meer interessant. Je mag nog een lijstje talen invullen die je kent, en hoeveel je verdient, en verder is het alleen maar AI AI AI AI Ai ai aiaiaiaia..
Oh ja, en wat je nou eigenlijk doet als je Stack Overflow bezoekt. "M'n oude antwoorden updaten als er comments op zijn gekomen" stond er niet tussen de keuzes.
#StackOverflow #ai #developer #survey #2025
I'm so tired of this 😩
#StackOverflow "experts" closed _again_ a perfectly valid #rexams question...
...already edited _and_ answered by me
...pleading for feedback rather than closing in the comments
...to no avail. This is so frustrating. 😭
@azzale Yes, you right. I guess it depends on the task.
> if a new vulnerability is found
The chance that you have more security issues in your own implementation is higher. Not sure if that comparison is valid for AI.
> is alright as long as you understand most of what the AI wrote
Right. This problem existed before #LLMs were a thing. Copy & Paste from #StackOverflow is the same problem, I guess.
I've just had a email newsletter from #StackOverflow. Never had that before. Don't use it. The site is full of outdated and bad advice. Unsubscribed!
A historical moment - I can't open #StackOverflow ... I hope it's something in my network as I've never seen that before.
This year's #StackOverflow developer survey is mostly an opportunity to write 'Fuck AI' in most of the free text boxes. And for the grand finale, 'To many fucking questions about fucking AI. Fuck AI.' https://stackoverflow.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1MNG2CYTY2AzkAm #FuckAI
Friends of #rstats and #StackOverflow this is becoming a habit but I need your help _again_ to re-open an #rexams question.
I had explained that the difference is important: graded vs. ungraded open-ended questions in NOPS exams. Someone flagged it as duplicate nevertheless.
If you have an account on Stack Overflow, there is a survey active right now. It is worth to fill, even if you are not using SO on a regular basis.

This was part of the Stack Overflow newsletter #279 (it's really an interesting newsletter, not a waste of time) and it's so true...:

[Перевод] Stack Overflow убил не искусственный интеллект
Было бы легко сказать, что Stack Overflow убил искусственный интеллект, но больше похоже на то, что ИИ лишь нанёс последний удар. Произошедшее можно считать притчей о человеческом обществе и о том, как эксперименты с самоуправлением привели к непредсказуемо плохим результатам. Когда-то Stack Overflow был сениор-разработчиком всего Интернета, источником поддержки, к которому кодеры обращались с поставившими их в тупик задачами. Это было место обмена техническими знаниями, где процветали этика и подходы опенсорсного программирования. Stack Overflow был не первым и не единственным подобным сайтом. Он стал частью волны нового поколения форумов по программированию, появившихся в начале века; некоторые из таких сайтов живы и по сей день . А сами такие форумы были потомками user groups и Usenet. С переходом к эпохе больших языковых моделей (large language model, LLM) все эти форумы сталкиваются с экзистенциальным кризисом. Нужны ли они нам вообще? Прежде, чем мы перейдём к ответу на этот вопрос, давайте внимательнее приглядимся к Stack Overflow: благодаря чему он возвысился, какие ошибки совершил и какова роль ИИ в его современном упадке.
@stackoverflow.com surely wants to fade into oblivion. In >10 years using this site I’ve never experienced such hostility than in my latest two questions asked. (https://stackoverflow.com/q/79650530/188108)
If search results point me to it – fine. But I will never interact with the site again. Hello, @reddit, hello #AI-based Q&A tools.
Go the way of #Usenet, Stackexchange!
Great article on the downfall of StackOverflow. I was a big user (and contributor) back in the day, but I got frustrated when I started seeing most of my questions being closed as off-topic even though I really put a lot of effort into making them well structured. It seems like I intuitively saw the trend in the article.

I don't know how true this is, but I do know that my attempt to answer a question was met with an accusation that I was an AI (I deleted my answer, I decided that no-one deserved to see it after that accusation)
"AI didn’t kill Stack Overflow"
"How the groundbreaking developer forum moderated itself into oblivion."
https://www.infoworld.com/article/3993482/ai-didnt-kill-stack-overflow.html
The original Stack Overflow was great. A few years after being sold in June 2021, they started feeding our questions & answers to OpenAI. They did it whether we wanted them to or not, giving us no options to opt-out or delete our data.
Now they have the gall to demand end users verify they are human, presumably because they don't want other unscrupulous entities scraping their website and monetizing our questions and answers.
Fuck them.
I hope they go bankrupt and die.
