How Have Times Changed: Younglings Do Not Know About The Stack

Remember when you'd actually copy-paste your error message into StackOverflow and pray someone had the same problem? Those were simpler times. Now junior devs just dump their entire codebase into ChatGPT and expect it to solve their NullPointerException while also explaining why their ex won't text back.

StackOverflow went from being the holy grail of debugging to that dusty old library nobody visits anymore. The new generation doesn't know the thrill of finding a 10-year-old answer marked as duplicate, or the pure rage of "This question has been closed as off-topic." They just ask an LLM and get a confidently incorrect answer in milliseconds instead of waiting 3 hours for someone to tell them to "just Google it."

Plot twist: half the training data for these LLMs came from StackOverflow anyway, so we've basically automated the process of getting roasted by strangers on the internet.
