After seeing this graph about the fall of StackOverflow, it's clear to me that I'm not the only one who has stopped using it in favor of LLMS (large language model) alternatives. With the rise of generative AI-powered initiatives like OverflowAI by Stack Overflow, and the potential of ChatGPT by OpenAI, the landscape of programming knowledge sharing is evolving. These AI models have the ability to generate human-like text and provide answers to programming questions. It's fascinating to witness the potential of AI as a game-changing tool in programming problem solving. So, I'm curious, which AI have you replaced StackOverflow with? Share your favorite LLMS or generative AI platform for programming in the comments below!

I prefer the classic method from the 90s. Open up a can of turpentine or varnish, breathe deep counting back from 100, then start explaining your problem loudly and clumsily to a brick wall until it starts talking back.

Steve Ballmer? Is that you?
