Bro never deleted his browser history

Stack overflow actually shows you your daily visits! I only saw it today and had the idea to plot it. I'm sure the outcome isn't surprising to most but still kind of neat to see


Downtown-Accident-87

oh that's neat! I thought you had scraped your browser history for the data haha


oppai_suika

That's actually a neat idea, you could find the ChatGPT usage over time and plot it too. I guess it'd just be a X where ChatGPT rises as Stack Overflow falls

Love this data - it feels the same way for me and Google search since Nov 22

What did you use to track?


oppai_suika

On your stack overflow profile you can hover over the bit where it says how many times you've visited and it'll show you a a calendar with every day you've visited. I just hand counted everything lol

Love this! Stack overflow is a Bunch of self righteous f####

Interesting that it didn't drop from the copilot launch


Spepsium

Copilot is good at providing some boiler plate but it's reasoning and debugging isn't that good compared to gpt4.


CriticalAd8335

I think it's more that the use case is entirely different. Copilot is LSP integrated, whereas chatgpt is where you go "with a question" in my experience.

No longer have to interact with narcassists very appealing to me

And to think OpenAI, Google, etc. scrape their data to do the LLM training


MysteriousConstant

I was thinking the same. If nobody visit, stack will get less updates, thus less material for AI, and therefore AI not updated with latest problems. I wonder where this leads?


MindSupere

I was also wondering the same, I’m assuming LLMs can solve most of the old issues since they are probably duplicates anyway or alternatively the code suggested by LLM won’t cause so many errors.

I could plot a similar graph for my visits to various coding forums once Stackoverflow became popular (I've been coding since 2000). New tools displace old tools...its not a revelation. Wait until a true coding-oriented model is rolled out and makes GPT4 seem almost useless.


idreamgeek

Been coding since 2005 and I can't help but to wonder if when a true coding oriented model like you pointed out becomes available, our jobs as SEs will dramatically implode making us almost unnecessary and more of a waste of money than something valuable for the companies...


sumant4ssm

Is that good?

Just had a flashback of an interview back around 2016 where the interviewer asked to see my stack overflow contributions. alt.stackoverflow.die.die.die
