My mental model has totally shifted to the point where even like dealing with stack overflow feels like a pain compared to just asking gpt-4.

discuss

order

I don't feel stack overflow has been rendered obsolete because the snobbishness and moderation people complain about so much has caused the recommendations on stack overflow to generally be of higher quality than those ChatGPT offers and you have more metadata (answer age, votes) about which answers are especially trustworthy.

Interesting - do you find the results trustworthy?

I'm curious too. When I go to stack overflow, I get lots of clues as to the trustworthiness of a given answer. I don't know how I'd get any clues from an LLM that its solution is outdated or suboptimal in some way

Doesn't help that many Stackoverflow results at the top of Google had their last answers in...2015.
