I disagree with this. You can tell someone that a question is not appropriate for a community without being a jerk. Or you can tell them that there needs to be more information in a question without b…

I very much disagree with the first point that there had somehow been a critical mass of questions achieved to explain the slowdown. With the change in tech, outdated answer, and increasing population…

>And nobody in the world knows how to keep communities from becoming toxic. There is simply no recipe. And that's why StackOverflow doesn't serve as a lesson either. I think a well-modera…

Do we know that it's fewer low-quality questions? Or is that just assumed because it's fewer total questions?

I have always wondered this. As more and more content on the internet becomes AI generated, does it become some kind of feedback loop where the hallucinations amplify themselves? Maybe someone smart c…

I know I always asked far fewer questions than I wanted to there for fear of being chastised. Maybe that's what the community wanted?

Me too. It does appear a bit more dramatic around when LLMs hit the scene but the was already a clear peak/decline starting well before.

I think Cloudflare r2 has a generous free tier. You can also technically store images in redis I think. anyways, thank you for making this, really cool!

You caching in memory or disk? Redis or db might survive the crashes and reduce future ones

Reminds me of a comic I saw a couple years back about a horse parliament where the horses only voted “neigh”

I am so confused, in the video didn't the senator just say that military service members are allowed to disobey illegal orders? Is that sedition?

Maybe a silly question, but do any science-y people know if studies like this make sure the inverse relationship isn't actually what's at play? Basically how do we know the actual relationsh…

I agree with others, this doesn't sound too bad. The biggest things to come out of this was finding out system prompts and being able to self-XSS. I am guessing the tester tried to push further (…

I thought the title meant the AWS UI was “terminal”, which I would be on board with

They're trying to ship AI features. Which is the issue. They shouldn't be shipping AI features, they should be solving problems. If AI features are in service of solving those problems then …

It appears people are now using the term "Microslop" which I find funny. I'm not in any way an anti-AI absolutist but I do get annoyed by how Microsoft has jammed it into every nook and…

That one makes me uncomfortable, which is a bad sign...

>Abstractions don’t remove complexity. They move it to the day you’re on call. Damn that's a real one. Nothing like struggling through a bunch of indirection to figure out what the heck a clev…

I have worked mostly in larger enterprises where there are no "clients" but rather customers. I enjoy talking to customers and seeing how they use the software and hearing about their challe…

I miss requirements!

I must say I do not have high hopes. 20 years in the business and it feels like a constant downward slope.

Well, we see how they're doing now https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1926661#g... Not that this was the wrong call. I think SO just had its time and no…

Very neat that a bunch of people mentioned in the list are actively participating on this very thread!
