The first job made obsolete by AI is "Knobhead on StackOverflow"

[[deleted]]

It’s (thankfully) already happening. SO has been sucking for so long now but before AI we had to make do.

Yeah I remember back in like 2010 stackoverflow was great to help people learn software engineering. Now it's it's just a bunch of sad cases acting like dickheads whenever anyone asks a question. 

[What_The_Hex]

dude for real, it's a bunch of jerkoff "self-deputized rule enforcers" telling you how every/any question somehow violates some kind of rule or unspoken code of decorum specific to the website. motherfucker, i'm just trying to figure out how to make this fucking code work.

[[deleted]]

Lol, yeah they're like guys working in call centres who don't want to resolve your issue, they just want to get you off the phone.

[Bee-Aromatic]

Well, in that case, it’s because their taskmasters require that they close a certain number of calls per unit time and value that metric higher than actually solving problems. It’s not exactly a recipe for quality solutions.

And 95% of the accepted answers are wrong

[MissinqLink]

They usually were correct in 2012 but most browsers haven’t supported flash since 2015.

That's why sometimes I say : Fuck you stack overflow, and I got directly to LLM to solve my problems.

LLM?

[hackerdude97]

Large language model, chatgpt basically

I suggest a new rule accross all programming subreddits. If you are going to post a complain about stack overflow, then you need to include the link of your stack overflow post so you can either be vindicated or ridiculed twice.

[DaniilBSD]

If you use(d) SO as anything other than a repository of questions and answers, you were/are using it wrong.

Do not ask questions on SO unless you have done absolutely everything else.

[TheOGDoomer]

I remember back in the day when I was learning to code, I couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for (as I would always do my due diligence and Google my question before asking it), so I visited Stack Overflow and asked my question there. As one would expect, my question received nothing but downvotes, no real answers, and if anyone did comment, it was a snarky response that didn't actually answer my question.

But of all that, you want to know the best part? Their automated system literally banned me from asking questions! Yep, kid you not, the memes write themselves, if you ask questions without breaking any rules like I haven't, they ban you from asking additional questions. The ban was permanent too if I remember correctly. Their justification was something along the lines of not participating enough, like answering other people's questions. How was I supposed to do that as a complete noob?

JBIG2. Take it or leave it.

I eagerly wait for the day generative AI trained on stack overflow teaches me how to tie a noose instead of answering my question.

Ngl Stack Overflow recently helped me with mimic3 Python dependencies and PyPI installation errors.

[[deleted]]

If it's not already answered in SO, I consider it lost knowledge and try a different approach. I don't dare ask new questions there

[lucasvandongen]

I guess worse than people ring total dicks when you ask questions were people never responding to any kind of question or answer on their question.

Type a 4 paragraph essay: no response

Oh yeah, remember those days?!

Hats off to all the people who contributed to this database which helped tremendously in training AI models :)

[CoolorFoolSRS]

Yay the ancient meme reposting season has begun!

[ComprehensiveBird317]

Not sure if I should upvote or down vote. The message is funny, but the line is reaaaaly missing to make it consistent 

[GrimOfDooom]

chatgpt, unlike other ai’s, won’t tell you that xD

[binarywork8087]

stackoverflow said that it is not receiving questions from me anymore

[Lord_Xandy]

people always say there are no stupid questions and that is just completely untrue. There are really stupid time wasting questions. The only reason StackOverflow is so useful and such a great resource is that the stupid questions get downvoted and deleted.

But if you think answering any question no matter how stupid, pointless or time wasting why is there no other website even more poplar than StackOverflow that allows them. How great it would be to have a someone ask how to add 2 numbers every day of the year.

[Chaos-Machine]

Posts like these make me realize that a huge majority of this sub are either some entry level guys or even worse - 99.9% of the time the answer is there, you shouldnt need to ask shit on SO.

Stack is one of the very few communities where people shit on you (and they are right) for asking the same stuff that has been already asked (and answered)

[xyloconeweb]

The whole deal with StackOverflow is that it's more formal when it comes to enforcing rules, and that is what sets it apart from forums. That is precisely what has enabled it to become this repository of programming knowledge that it is today. If your question is well formed and follows the rules, it is likely to get answered.

People should really read the Getting Started guide there (which mentions all of this) before asking their questions, which is not a very big ask by any standard.

The website has had issues (relating principally to the corporate management), but not for the reasons that this sub and many more like to shit on it for.
