on the death of stack overflow - my question is, where will "new information" come from? there are always going to be newer and more efficient ways of doing things. And that knowledge needs to get indexed into the LLMs somehow. as long as stack overflow was active, that contributed to this alpha.

training the models on cursor / windsurf questions / code can lead to some kind of staleness and statis.

I think the new information is coming from the use of these AI IDEs except it’s better for training their models than StackOverflow ever was.

Have you tried Replit? https://replit.com/ It's also in that middle space where you can deploy on their infra, with some built-in components, and where you can go anywhere from vibe coding and never looking at the code, to using it more like Cursor where you just ask for help from time to time.
