The number of questions on Stack Overflow fell by 78 percent in December 2025 compared to a year earlier. Developers are switching en masse to AI tools in their IDEs, making the popular developer forum increasingly irrelevant.

Well that might suck phenomenally because at least in stackoverflow people (albeit sometimes toxically) point out issues with replies/codes. In GitHub anyone can post any code that may have critical errors. Even worse GitHub wil be full of AI generated code like internet is filled with AI generated videos. So things may start to get weird when AI gets trained on AI code.
