Stack overflow is almost dead
SMRTR summary
Stack Overflow's question volume has declined significantly since peaking in 2014, with a brief surge during 2020 lockdowns. Questions dropped sharply after ChatGPT's launch in November 2022, projected to reach 2009 levels by May 2025. This decline indicates AI models are reducing Stack Overflow's relevance. Strict moderation may have contributed to its decreasing popularity pre-AI. The founders' $1.8B sale to Prosus in 2021 seems well-timed given the site's trajectory.
