I said I don't use it. I didn't say I've never used it. In my experience browsing SO is way easier, more accurate, more precise, more controllable, navigable, and ... gives attribution.

For some reason , but a lot of of the answers here seem to care more about "but tell em /I/ solved it" re: attribution rather than helping the user. Somewhat egoist or some such? ( and I don't mean it as an aggressive tone, just ESL so don't know how to say it othrewise)

If I license something as MIT, I personally don't care who uses it for what purpose, hell I don't even care generally that they attribute me. I put it out for people to use. But maybe that's just me.

you spend more time on SO than me. without looking, can you name three stack overflow contributors? I can't.

Yes.

I was offered a job a few years ago by someone who saw my Stack Overflow answers, does that count? I don't see something like this happening with ChatGPT.

I can do two, Jon Skeet (C#) and S. Lott (Python) are names I remember for providing great answers.
