A million years ago, stack overflow was something special. It’s still useful for figuring out things you really should have known but don’t, though LLMs are much better, since you can actually ask them questions rather than just try to search for someone else who asked a question like yours. But for anything nontrivial, the site sucks because a nontrivial question can almost always be framed as being “a lot like” some other, more trivial question, but the question you need answered is in what way is it different from the obvious. Somehow, LLMs are better at understanding your question and delivering a relevant topic than SO mods.
