You Guys Are Lifesavers

The great developer migration of 2023 visualized. Massive crowd flocking to ChatGPT while one lonely soul still visits Stack Overflow. Remember when we had to actually read through 15 answers, each starting with "Actually, you shouldn't do it that way" before finding a solution that worked? Now we just ask the AI and get code that's wrong in exciting new ways instead of the familiar old ways. Progress!

OMFG the absolute TRAGEDY of Reddit and Stack Overflow in one picture! 😭 You're just innocently scrolling for help with your code that's been broken for 6 HOURS, and BAM—some self-important dev drops "This is an ad" in their post, and suddenly the comment section EXPLODES into a Star Wars vs Marvel civil war! Meanwhile your production server is literally on fire and your boss is sending you those "just checking in" messages. The AUDACITY of these people derailing threads when you're just trying to figure out why your function returns undefined instead of saving your job! 💀

A, 1000 Votes It's very simple!! 1. Install NodeS 2. Install bower pm install -g bower 3. Install query bower install jquery 4. Import Jquery to your html script src"jquery.js"script 5. To select ALL the elements with the same classname use this : ('.classname') will return array with elements A 500 Votes Jquery. A 300 Votes LOL. Jquery or mootools. R U DUMB? XDDD A -1 Votes Javascript already has an built in function: document. getElementsByClassName ("classname"); This will get you an array with all elements found.

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!

Writing 10 lines of code without frantically Googling for syntax, Stack Overflow solutions, or that one weird error message is basically the programming equivalent of farming your own food. Sure, it's not glamorous or efficient, but there's a simple dignity to it. Modern developers survive on a steady diet of copy-paste and API documentation. Those rare moments when you actually remember how to initialize an array or write a proper regex without digital assistance? Pure, honest work.

That score of -17 is the real cherry on top. Someone's worried AI is making Stack Overflow obsolete, but can't even formulate a proper question that meets basic standards. The irony is delicious—complaining about AI ruining the platform while demonstrating exactly why moderation exists in the first place. Maybe instead of fighting the AI revolution, spend five minutes learning how to ask a focused question? Just a thought.
