Stackoverflow Loses; ChatGPT wins

Stackoverflow was great in the 90’s : a community of tech experts that would try and help any way they could.

But now we have ChatGPT, for $20 per month (for the amount I use it, which I count as one of the world’s great bargain, you get an indefatigable AI buddy that knows all the answers and pulls out all the stops to help you.

Meanwhile stackoverflow got too much into content moderation deciding which posts were “valuable” and told me that I couldn’t post any more questions. Tough luck, Stackoverflow. Goodbye!
