Ask HN: Are you using StackOverflow as much as you used to?

Hardly at all these days. The quality of answers seems to have fallen off a cliff.

There’s another reason I use it less. Developer documentation has gotten so much better over the past 10 years.

There’s hardly a case where I have a question that isn’t answered by official docs any more.

I’m guessing at least part of this is due to open source documentation. A lot of new engineers want to get contributions in GitHub as part of their CV. It’s super easy to contribute to docs in our current model.

It’s an interesting dynamic.

I found myself moving towards asking questions on github discussions on projects that have it enabled

No. I deleted my account and stopped using all Stack Overflow sites after the Monica Cellio issue.

Yes, but participating far less.
