following the Stack Overflow moderator
strike.1 Not that there has
been much progress. Negotiations stalled for a variety of

Stack Overflow's CEO, Prashanth Chandrasekar, dug the company's hole a

I’m with you. It’s amazing how fast ChatGPT has replaced SO for me.
I’m not sure how this will work long term. How will the model get new training data?
But honestly? SO can eat a bag of dicks. It doesn’t matter if you’re asking a question that’s nowhere on the site (or the first 3 pages of Google results). It’s going to get closed and ignored.
I think most people moved to Reddit and Discord a while ago, which is also problematic. We need to get these conversations happening on the open Fediverse.
