I’ve found posts where someone has asked a question about the exact issue I was having, but where some self-important mod who knows nothing about the subject had inevitably squashed it and pointed to a completely irrelevant thread about an entirely different problem.
Im trying to recall the exact issue but I specifically looked for commentary on some pattern on stack overflow recently. I dont recall what it was.
I felt like AI was not giving me a good answer. One of those scenarios where it would restate the factors I told it and say "I recommend X because Y" but I wasn't fully following the "because Y" part and when pushing it did not become clearer one way or the other.
I wanted to see actual discussion around it. Github is the place to go for issues/errors but a but not higher level, borderline philosophical stuff that's not attached to some specific software.
edit: Aha, I see now. I was debating setting configuration from a file at deploy vs at runtime. For some software I was writing that would be shared via "deploy with cloudflare" button (which forks the gh repo and runs against your own cf project).
I opted for file-based FWIW. Lose the ability to add tenants at runtime but I liked having everything VC'd and in github. Not a project i'll be frequently interacting with/administering so its nice to just go to the repo and see the state.
It's becoming very unnecessary for me, either DuckDuckGo's search assist will extract the answer for me or even more likel, I'll be asking for code directly in Duck.ai and then I'm extremely unlikely to need to click through for anything programming-related.
But also it's a function of what I'm working on, there is stuff I just skate through without needing to look anything up.
I have never found the site useful.

I visited yesterday according to my browser history. I contributed last probably over a year ago, but I don't know off the top of my head.
Probably more than a year. Maybe even two. I used to be on there all the time. Kinda nostalgic for it.
