After ChatGPT disruption, Stack Overflow lays off 28 percent of staff

I don't get all the hate and vitriol for StackOverflow. Sure, some people are assholes. Welcome to humanity. At least the system provides for voting to suppress the shit takes and general assholery.

SO combined with Google is usually enough to help me find an answer that either gives the context I need to make a solution or a straight up solution. If people are posting and expecting a super detailed, correct answer in a matter of hours, I think their expectations need adjustment.

I've posted very few questions and had decent responses for the majority of them. Is my experience uncommon?

But yeah, layoffs suck, and I hope they find a way to be profitable. Hell, if they do a Patreon-esque model where people can just throw money at them because they appreciate the service, I'd subscribe. (If a similar thing exists that I don't know about, please link)
