Is this finally the dusk of SO? It helps alot, but also suck alot.

Honestly SO fuelled the rise of the cut and paste developer. I won't be that sad to see the end of it, and the LLMs that scraped it soon after.

The amount of people I've been helping out that have copied some code from somewhere and say "it doesn't work", and who are dumbfounded when I ask them to read the surrounding text aloud for me...

Along the same line: When something crashes, and all I have to do is tell people to read the error message aloud, and ask them what that means. It's like so many people expect to be spoon-fed solutions, to the point where they don't even stop to think about the problem if something doesn't immediately work.
