Oh, don't misunderstand me. I'm not here to defend stack overflow or anything. They're absolute rubbish as a company. I just thought your "third way" comment was misguided.

But - codidact went nowhere. Reddit and now lemmy have never been helpful for my programming problems. What's taking SO down is their deal with the AI devil? It's funny in sort of a sad way.
