Secure coding in #JavaScript, my latest blog on #stackoverflow JavaScript is the front-end of the entire internet. Because JavaScript is so prolific, it’s a prime target for attackers.
Call it a conspiracy, but I'm still convinced that #StackOverflow is dying primarily because the marketing for CodeGen AI demotivated a lot of people to the point that they do not even want to program anything anymore.
I've seen a lot of (what could have been) Juniors avoid doing anything with code because AI will be able to do it in 5 years anyway so there is no point in learning it.
And then the large layoffs, so the remaining ones are probably too busy to write answers there
#KI ist für einen Anfänger in #Docker und intermediate #Linux Sysadmin wirklich hilfreich, obwohl ich die ganze Energieverschwendung nicht mag. Mit #StackOverflow ging das auch, aber nicht so schnell und bequem. Und ja, ich kann Halluzinationen erkennen.
@nixCraft thanks. Wow. Also …

A new era of Stack Overflow - Stack Overflow (2025-12-30) <https://stackoverflow.blog/2025/12/30/a-new-era-of-stack-overflow/>
Got my reminder to finally remove my #StackOverflow account which has been sitting unused for the past decade. The site has had its fair share of problems but pushing AI slop to programmers looking for advise has a new quality.

Meanwhile, I use it almost daily and it seems very much alive and still useful, to me.
I smell PR.

And what do you pick your teeth with, after devouring that fat goose? With a feather of the same fowl.( from https://botsin.space/@mobydick/112412619011989792 )
right after reading about StackOverflow selling out to OpenAI. I will leave puzzling out the analogy relating to two as an exercise to the reader.
StackOverflow announced they are selling out to OpenAI. I took the liberty to edit my contributions, which were often very specific, and to generalize them, following the instructions from SO itself here https://stackoverflow.com/help/what-to-do-instead-of-deleting-question : "If your question is unnecessarily specific, edit to generalize it."
Within hours mods reverted my improvements, claiming I tried to "remove or deface" my posts. But surely I only improved them 🤷🏻

Side by side diff of an improved version of a StackOverflow question. The improvement reads: " Ah, behold the marvels of my coding prowess! Feast your eyes upon my dazzling display of data manipulation mastery. With a mere flick of my keyboard, I summon forth plots of such magnificence that lesser mortals quake in envy!
In my grand symphony of statistical visualization, I orchestrate Plot 1, a masterpiece of elegance and insight. Using the mystical powers of geom_jitter(), I banish overplotting to the abyss, while adorning my creation with a gradient of ethereal hues, a testament to my impeccable taste.
But lo! Plot 2 beckons, a siren call to showcase my unparalleled brilliance. Yet, in my quest to highlight the chosen ones, I encounter a mere trifle: the capricious nature of ggplot! Undeterred, I forge ahead, wielding set.seed() as my Excalibur, only to find my red beacons adrift in a sea of randomness. Fear not, for I shall conquer this vexation!"

Side by side diff of an improved SO contribution. The improved version reads: "In the realm of data integration, the interplay between SQL databases and R environments often presents intricate challenges, particularly in scenarios where the availability of a running server is variable. My current endeavor revolves around a portable project, necessitating the importation of SQL data from .sql dumps without reliance on a live MySQL server, yet ensuring unfettered access to the latest database snapshots."
