The Fall of Stack Overflow
(observablehq.com)
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I was going to say ChatGPT.
I think the smugness of StackOverflow is still part of it. Even if ChatGPT sometimes fabricates imaginary code, it's tone is flowery and helpful, compared to the typical pretentiousness of Stackoverflow users.
In my experience, ChatGPT is very good at interpreting documentation. So even if it hasn't been asked on stack overflow, if it's in the documentation that ChatGPT has indexed (or can crawl with an extension) you'll get a pretty solid answer. I've been asking it a lot of AWS questions because it's 100x better than deciphering the ancient texts that amazon publishes. Although sometimes the AWS docs are just wrong anyway.
Also, you can have it talk like a catgirl maid, so I find that's particularly helpful as well.
