yeah it is dead, turns out most of those questions were just people asking how to center a div… and the roasters finally got tired

The main problem before AI was that the community on SO was quite corrosive and many questions were shot down or deleted with no recourse. Post-AI, the only thing SO would have going for it would be the community, which it doesn’t. Maybe it would be useful for niche questions and truly hard problems, but I wonder how many people have just given up on it for the community aspects alone.

It's very interesting to see the opinions in the answers vs the off site opinions. On the site itself, the opinion seems to be that stackoverflow is not dead and it's okay if there's reduced traffic and questions to the site. Yet off site, the opinion is that stackoverflow is dead and added to that, the community isn't very friendly anymore. It's just really interesting to see the perspectives between the two.
