Is stack overflow even useful anymore? I guess it must be for some. Personally for me it feels like the content is pretty "stale". E.g. an answer from 5 years

Is stack overflow even useful anymore? I guess it must be for some.
Personally for me it feels like the content is pretty "stale". E.g. an answer from 5 years ago that uses a deprecated feature in a library that was abandoned 3 years ago etc, a reference to something only working in Chrome v12(we are on v90 now IIRC) etc etc. It seems like a lot of what I come across on there is just so out of date that I personally do not put value on it.
As such I personally avoid it now like I used to avoid experts exchange that was the stack-overflow-before-stack-overflow.
I wonder if I am alone...?
- quietbritishjim 5y agoGiven you mention Chrome, maybe you are a JS dev, and maybe things move a bit faster for that language/ecosystem than for others (to put it mildly).
