| 6 hours ago | comment | added | pilchard | Lol. The 'group by' questions for javascript alone used to account for multiple questions a day a few years ago and even getting them closed as duplicate was impossible — "...but I'm grouping color names not animals". | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | Lundin | Also, there aren't really that many sub-sites about specific programming branches at all to explain that activity has moved elsewhere. And those sites which are such sites are also in decline. | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | Lundin | "that's exactly what I would expect the graph to look like for a Q&A site" Sure, if it was about constructing bridges or crafting bows and arrows, or anything else like that which humanity has been doing for thousands of years. But programming is a very young technology still taking its first baby steps in comparison. Like the slightly older but still young technology called electronics, it is very rapidly evolving in all manner of directions. I would not expect questions to stagnate but rather increase exponentially, just like the evolution of the technology that the questions are about. | |

If a resource for finding help for questios is going down, that is not explained by need for answers going down in the world at the current time. | |

| Jan 24 at 16:47 | comment | added | PM 2Ring | Agreed. Even without the effects of GenAI, I expect the rate of good new questions to decline over time. Similarly, the number of new pages created per month on Wikipedia isn't as high these days as it was a decade ago. We (the company & the community) should be focusing on ways to improve the existing content. Make it easier to find the pearls. Identify obsolete questions & answers. Get rid of, or at least de-emphasise, unhelpful low-quality content. Etc. | |
