      As much as I dislike their recent choices, a lot of knowledge would be lost if Reddit went down.

        This is not the first time a platform goes bad and knowledge is lost. People used to think stack overflow was impossible to replace. Now we don’t even use it anymore, most of us.

        It will be fine.

          What? Stack overflow is still very relevant. I don’t even know what bubble you’re in if you think it isn’t.

          Honestly confused by your comment.

            I guess I’m in the chat gpt bubble. Since that came along, it has replaced stack overflow almost completely for me.

            It’s still valuable when I Google on error messages though, that’s true…

          Honest question: what happened to Stack Overflow? I still get answers from it. Have I missed some incident??

            I mostly use chat gpt now, but I guess stack overflow is still there if you don’t use chat gpt. And it can be helpful for finding error messages from apps and figuring out what they mean.

              Ohh, I see! Thanks for replying. I often forget about ChatGPT as an alternative

          Stackoverflow is still very much impossible to replace. The amount of knowledge that it contains is simply too great to fall easily. And LLMs like ChatGPT aren’t even close to being as helpful as SO answers, specially on archaic libraries.
