Stackoverflow failed for two reasons
- a culture among the asking people of 'plz do it for me, plz'
- a culture among the answering people of 'you asked wrong and should feel bad'
I think these are both true and it was true some people were asking just fine.
Self-replies
In the past if I was going to answer a question, I might google it to get some confirmation. Nowadays, I would ask the LLM and since I'm not a monster I'd validate the results. And probably google it.
But that is banned I think? So the next reason for failure is
- a culture of purity, it is better that nothing happen on SO than to allow LLMs to be involved. (SO's official LLM is a RAG tool)
