It just occured to me, that I haven't asked anything on SO for a while now. It might even be years, the last I asked for help.

Most of the problems I come across were already faced by someone else.

Do you guys feel the same?

When the number one result in Google is a site answering my exact question with "did you try googling it first?" I have no incentive to interact with that site.

    i got that once, except it was my exact question with no response at all, then i noticed it was me that posted the question 4 years earlier.

    i used to use stack overflow a lot back in 2007/08 but i cant remember the last time i actually got an answer.

    I've stopped using most corporate message boards and forums since AI hysteria highlighted their greed and self-aggrandizement.

    All of them act like they are indispensable and provide value, when their only value is the network effect, and their "products" are entirely user generated and moderated. It's only a matter of time until they enshittify and rug pull.
