Stack Overflow has seen a substantial decline in traffic over the last year that appears to be accelerating. https://observablehq.com/@ayhanfuat/the-fall-of-stack-overflow
It doesn't look to be a decline at all (quite healthy on the contrary) until around the time ChatGPT was released.
I can see for myself that I go way less often since I use github copilot
Where exactly am I supposed to go for programming questions if SO goes under? I don't suppose there's a Fediverse equivalent?
I mostly end up with answers from a handful of top tier devs.. I'm kind of glad they prevent junk and noise so I get the answers I need, ymmv
In the past I tried to submit something to it, but didn't have enough reputation or whatever.
In general though, I'll try to use copilot first
