- Only 3,862 questions were asked in December, marking a 78% drop year-over-year.
- This shift is largely attributed to the proliferation of AI tools, revolutionizing how developers find answers.
Moreover, many users have voiced concerns about feeling undervalued when seeking help, leading to frustration with the platform.
What does this mean for the future?
