As Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents take up more and more of our daily work, I've noticed that I now spend most of my time writing specs, nailing down requirements, and talking to the agent, rather than actually poring over the details of the code.
Today, for some totally random reason, it suddenly hit me that I haven't opened Stack Overflow in a very, very long time, at least half a year. And that gives me a strange sense of loss. I used to open it almost every single day. It was there through more than a decade of my career, and somehow I managed to forget about it this fast.
So guys, for how long have you not opened Stack Overflow? And has anything else quietly dropped out of your workflow the same way, without you even noticing?
Probably a week or two ago, since I clicked on a Google result that led there. Don't think I've ever specifically seeked out Stack Overflow though, especially not in the last five years.
I haven't looked at it in over a year. I haven't bothered trying to ask a question in 10 years. They were killing themselves before AI by being openly hostile to people asking questions.
Nowadays, I’m mostly interacting with open source components, so I read source code when the docs are lacking. I rarely have questions in the form of “How do I do…”. They are mostly “How does this thing work?”
Clicked a search result that went there probably last week. I might have an account there, but I've never asked nor answered a questioned, nor voted.
A few years, and that was on accident. They were too degraded to be worth using 5 years ago compared to the hey day
almost one year ago
Yesterday.
stack what?
