I Have Never Seen This Question In My Life

Content son: dad, why is my sister's name rose dad: because your mom loves roses son: okay dad dad: no problem, stack overflow

The eternal struggle of a desperate coder, captured in one image! On the left, we have LLMs promising to "help with programming questions" but won't actually insult you (how considerate). On the right, StackOverflow boasting it's "accurate" and "used by people who know what they're doing" while flexing knowledge of "even the most obscure languages." It's the perfect illustration of our coding dilemma: get polite, possibly hallucinated answers from an AI that treats you like a fragile child, or brave StackOverflow where your "simple question" will be closed as duplicate, marked as trivial, and someone will suggest you shouldn't be programming at all. Choose your poison!

Ah, the classic bait-and-switch. First we were all tied up with Stack Overflow, desperately patting it on the head for every error message we couldn't decipher. Then Elon swoops in with his Twitter/X rebrand, and suddenly our timelines are filled with developers dramatically announcing their migration to Bluesky, Mastodon, or whatever platform hasn't been "ruined" yet. Ten years in this industry and I've learned one universal truth: developers will spend more time complaining about where they're complaining than actually writing code. Meanwhile, that bug isn't going to fix itself while you're crafting the perfect farewell tweet.

Content stackoverflow Stack Overflow is currently offline for maintenance Routine maintenance usually takes less than an hour. If this turns into an extended outage, we will tweet updates from Stack Status or post details on the status blog. Devs all around the world:

THE GRAVEYARD OF CAKE DAY WISHES! 💀 Sweet merciful heavens, we're witnessing a MASSACRE of deleted comments, each one marked with that innocent little cake emoji! It's like watching the digital equivalent of a horror movie where everyone who says "Happy Birthday" gets OBLITERATED by the Reddit moderation gods! Those poor souls thought they were spreading joy, but instead got their comments [removed] faster than unused variables in production code! The thread is LITERALLY NOTHING BUT TOMBSTONES of well-wishers! The irony is so thick you could frost a cake with it!
