    Do people still use stack overflow? I feel like their days are numbered.

      Well, when good documentation is available it isn’t necessary but good documentation is not always available. And it can still be helpful with niche issues 🤷

        I mean, good documentation + LLM = Stack overflow is 100% obsolete

        Why else would they speed run enshitification?

          Nope, Documentation + LLM misses the big chunk what we call human errors, commonly x y problems, LLM are good until you need to get deep then they start giving surface level answer it’s possible to point them toward the right direction by refining but at that point i would prefer reading Documentation.
