I used StackOverflow for many years. In that time I think I might have posted 3-5 questions in total. In the majority of cases, the answers were already there. The trail was blazed by those who encountered those problems before me. These days it is quicker to ask a LLM trained on all of the web. Of course, I need to verify the veracity of the answers, but that was true for web searches too.
