❌ Stack Overflow ✅ Ego Overflow
Chat gpt lacks the rudeness the occasional insultes and the downvotes
Stack overflow users on their way to call you a dumbass and not answer your question
Main reasons, 1) people on there are super unfriendly. 2) ChatGPT’s got this.
To be honest, I’ve been roasted on Stack Overflow lmfao
I got blocked from asking questions on stack overflow because the questions I'd asked so far were "low quality". Being a beginner, I couldn't figure out how to improve the "quality" of these questions and deleting them didn't unblock me. So there I was, the person needing stack overflow the most, being locked out of stack overflow
AI won't berate and shame me for "asking the wrong question" then not even answer it.
"Could you explain this basic concept to me? This is the purpose I'm trying to apply it to. Thanks" Stack Overflow user, 17 years on the site, one billion Reddit gold karma: We ArEn'T hErE tO dO yOuR hOmEwOrK fOr YoU
It's simple. AI doesn't have an ego.
Yea I remember when I was new to coding and I tried using stack overflow to ask a question I just got obliterated by everyone. Still one guy offered to help.
Stackoverflow is toxic, folks think that they won the goddamn Nobel prize because they understand XYZ tech in depth.
Theres also that stack overflow is on of the most toxic and cruel places to ask questions
Because Stack Overflow is just like other QnA websites (especially Quora) : people WILL rather criticise the reason you ask than bring an actual answer, such as "Hey how do you split a string in Python? - Bro don't use Python it sucks"
The only way to use stack overflow is to find someone else who already asked your question. If you can't find it, you better look elsewhere. There's only 0.001% chance your question will be answered, most of the times it's either deleted for whatever reason, and the rest of the times you're just going to get insulted without getting an answer.
I love it when the person asking is clearly new to programming and someone passive aggressively links them to a bunch of documentation. At that level it's like throwing a dictionary at someone for asking how to structue part of a novel.
As an occasional stack overflow user, I can confirm contributing to that hell site is torture. If Twitter is full of useless kids who think they're better than everyone, stack overflow has old ass neck beards with big tech salaries thinking they're better than everyone
It is intimidating to ask a question, like when i was asking as a complete beginner, about things that i didn't find on the website, i get roasted and my intelligence insulted without an actual answer aside of "read the documentation"
It's because unlike the losers at Stack Overflow, ChatGPT actually tries its best to answer your question.
The only people that can ask questions on Stack Overflow are those with PhDs in asking questions
