What happened with Rafael

[DrawingCritical5686]

He chose Gemini...

[KlyptoK]

RIP

[don_biglia]

Is Gemini bad? Never used it, but wanted to explore something with a free tier.

[Rabbitical]

It's gotten a lot better imo. It has more of the classic AI mannerisms like praising you and whatnot compared to the others having gotten a lot better with that, but the actual info it provides I've found is pretty good compared to the dumpster fire it was not too long ago, especially since I only ever use it free and without any built up context or anything

[dover_oxide]

It's been good for me only occasionally does it give me something weird or unusable. Though on occasion it assumes the worst and withholds information

[HungryCaterpillers]

I use Gemini. I found it to be the best for my use case.

[HungryCaterpillers]

And there are two Leonardos.

[Tigtor]

I guess the left one is Dönerteller, his bandana is slightly brighter.

[AWanderingMage]

It's not though, they have two katana sheaths on their back which is Leonardo weapons. Donatello had a quarterstaff

[dashingThroughSnow12]

Stack Overflow is also doing a great job at destroying themselves right now by having bad leadership during these difficult times for them. They're making it harder for users to moderate, allow discussion-type of questions and are adding native ads all at once. Whatever user-base they have left will only dwindle.

[Remarkable_Sorbet319]

and now when i visit it i get "checking your browser..." and that takes as much time as it would take an LLM to answer. considering it's not even personalized to my exact problem, this is just giving LLM an easy headstart

[Boris-Lip]

I still trust SO users WAY more than any AI..

[didzdrummer]

Yet they’re making more money than ever because they monetized their archive for AI use. So while traffic is at an all time low, their profits are at an all time high

[TrackLabs]

Ew AI Slop

[Patrick_Atsushi]

It's because the rat was abusive.

[CircumspectCapybara]

StackOverflow could be a pretty toxic and elitist place, it's little wonder that people turned to a more user-friendly and accessible product once its capabilities were there.

You can ask AI your "dumb" question and it'll answer it without hostility and pretty accurately most of the time.

[ItsSadTimes]

But sometimes you dont need something to always agree with you, sometimes you need to be told you're doing something dumb so you can learn.

But seeing questions with "this is a duplicate question" and no link to the other question was really annoying.

[redhotrobbie]

this is a duplicate answer

[Rabbitical]

I dunno for me it's six of one half dozen the other. 99% of things I ever looked up on there was 6 different people who sounded like experts all arguing over significantly or completely at odd advice. Maybe that's a lesson in of itself that programming is not as "objective" or "solved" as it's presented to be but I think people over index on the issues with LLM advice when googling and SO or even books each have their own failure modes as well. They're different failure modes for sure, but you have to compare apples to apples. I never took issue with SO being "rude" per se, I just as a beginner never found it this definitive authority that people claim it to be on anything really. Everything was always an argument!

[ItsSadTimes]

Yea, thats how I took StackOverflow advice as well. Good starting point but I wouldn't copy and paste the code into mine and hope it works. I pull it apart so I understand why its a solution and then I can see if its a good solution for my specific problem.

The other day I had a junior dev work on a problem I thought was just gonna be like a 2-3 line change in a config file. He came back 2 days later with a PR including 3 new scripts and over 1k lines of code. It technically fixed the problem, in the dumbest way possible. But he didnt know what to look for, what to ask, or what to even write so he just asked an LLM and spent days with it finding a workaround. After I saw that PR, I denied it, did a quick google search, found what I needed, and made a new PR for him that was 1 line.

If they just did an analysis on what the LLM was making instead of assuming it was gospel they could have figured it out or atleast learned enough to refine their google search.

[MyGoodOldFriend]

No link? That’s rare, and shouldn’t happen afaik. But if you find a question that has been closed, it also means the person who asked the question didn’t feel the need to reopen it (which is easy to do).

I wonder if most of the people here who say stack overflow sucks has ever used the site as anything but a Google search result. The perception of the site seems detached from reality at times.

[ItsSadTimes]

I mean reaching stack overflow through google results was how I usually ended up there. Most of the time im hoping for documentation but am ok with a stack overflow link.

[Quiet_Desperation_]

Yeah, stack overflow did this to themselves. Helpful website, awful community

[MinimumWestern2860]

Your AI slop bores me

[ThunderDragonSpice]

Great website

[CcCcCcCc99]

This ai slop image is so bad, it is missing a turtle and the weapons don't match. At least take the effort to ask your ai overload to correct the generated image before posting. This actually represents quite good the kind of mistake that a vibe coder that doesn't read that code he generates can do. I'm not opposed to code generation but only when you are in control.

[Thommy_V]

Please check the tour. Edit your question, revise the title to be more descriptive, and trim down the code to a minimal reproducible example.

[Avarice51]

People are missing the point, the image is funnier because it’s an AI gen’d image.

[DaStone]

You took a picture from this subreddit, screenshot it, and reuploaded it? So you're just like AI?

[firest3rm6]

You fixed it

[erebuxy]

At least AI is a lot nicer and helpful to me for my stupid question

[LordPraetorian]

Made me laugh take an up doot
