I’m curious about the current state of Stack Overflow’s activity and relevance in 2025.

In recent years, many developers seem to rely more on alternatives such as AI assistants, Discord communities, GitHub Discussions, Reddit, or documentation-first approaches. At the same time, Stack Overflow has historically been the primary place for precise, well-archived technical answers.

My questions are:

• Do developers still actively ask and answer questions on Stack Overflow today?

• Has the volume or quality of answers noticeably changed in recent years?

• In which cases do you still prefer Stack Overflow over newer platforms or AI tools?

• Do you think Stack Overflow’s role has shifted rather than declined?

I’m especially interested in perspectives from people who actively contribute answers, moderate, or use Stack Overflow professionally.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
