LLMs are making the quick jot to Stack Overflow obsolete

Not for me they're not.




Why would you say you still use stack overflow?


ChatGPT (3, I'm on the wait-list for 4) is fine at answering questions and coming up with code samples for stuff that's on the beaten path (hey, how do I do this in python or go). I don't have many of these sorts of questions.

I've found it to be wholly inadequate at answering the kinds of questions I do have a lot of - stuff like "How to watch a list of objects using kubernetes controller-runtime?". The answer I got is entirely hallucinated.

For those I find myself still searching GitHub for example code and sometimes using stack overflow.


Because lift isn't a popularity contest?


Do you mean lift the framework or are you referring to something else?


For most people they are though


"Most people" do a lot of stupid stuff, I don't really care what everyone else does. Because the majority of people do something is absolutely no justification.

At one point in time, > 50% of people used to smoke cigarettes too.
