AI Has Killed StackOverflow

Content You find someone on StackOverflow asking your exact question Ratana. It has 0 answers

Content I am a senior developer because I understand 98 of the jokes on rProgrammerHumor I've created posts on rProgramming Humor scoring over 50k upvotes I use a dark theme and most importantly l've asked a question on StackOverflow that wasn't a duplicate

Behold, the Silver Sentinel of StackOverflow! That cold, merciless stare is what every hopeful newbie programmer sees right before their innocent question gets obliterated with "Marked as duplicate" faster than you can say "but my case is different!" These StackOverflow veterans have evolved beyond human compassion. They hover above the digital city like vengeful deities, armed with nothing but their reputation points and an encyclopedic knowledge of questions asked in 2011. Their purpose? To ensure no question shall ever be asked twice in the sacred halls of programmer knowledge. Fun fact: Some say if you whisper "I didn't check existing questions" three times at midnight, this silver figure appears at your desk and forces you to read the entire StackOverflow help center documentation.

The eternal developer's dilemma in flowchart form! If AI-generated code doesn't work, it's a hard "DON'T DO IT." If it works but you have no clue why? Also "DON'T DO IT" (future you will curse present you during debugging). But if it works AND you understand why? "SURE" go ahead! This is basically the modern version of "I found this snippet on StackOverflow" except now we're copying from robots instead of humans. The flowchart perfectly encapsulates that brief moment of temptation when ChatGPT spits out something that runs without errors but feels like forbidden magic. Remember folks: understanding > working code.
