   Hi,   
      
   So StackOverflow has already fallen, and   
   GitHub will be the next one. StackOverflow   
   was eclectic, insuinated a high Signal   
   quality but repelled its newcomers by   
   strick language rules and deletism.   
      
   StackOverlow is suplaned by ChatGPT, etc..   
   They are more tolerant and can deliver   
   excellent Signals, much beter than   
   StackOverflow. ChatGPT and other assistants   
   flipped the model: No downvotes.   
      
   No “duplicate question” shaming. Conversational,   
   exploratory, and often faster than Googling +   
   scanning SO threads. Most importantly: they don’t   
   punish incomplete knowledge, which is where   
   most human learning happens.   
      
   LLMs give a more forgiving learning curve.   
      
   Bye
