Understood, and thank you very much for the summary

tech noob here, why is what he did bad?

I work with recruiters who hire for big companies. Interview with the recruiter over the phone, then a technical interview, then a team meet/personality interview, then an offer. I have a steady salary now working for a huge client and I much prefer it to a sales-based income

Again, the attitude comes down from the top. Volunteers whose ethics (contempt and superiority) align with the executive staff are rewarded, and those that don’t are let go. I don’t know if you’re ignorant or being deliberately obtuse? Please think about what I wrote.

the culture of contempt comes down from the top. it’s owned by Prosus, acquired for $1.8 billion in 2021.

Yes. Stack overflow was a cruel, selfish, horrible emperor and now the dynasty of technical knowledge is crumbling.

If everyone moves to LLMs then there will not be a central repository of knowledge. That is the fault of stack overflow. Their self-centered behavior directly caused this fracturing of knowledge.

If they had been decent human beings we would have had a library of information kept current with today’s trends and technologies. Instead we’re going to have to rely on paid AI models or fucking grok.

This is their fault. I blame them for it. And I celebrate their downfall because they were shitty humans.

Managing all that data was never a problem for them. They had the technical expertise, paid staff, and plenty of volunteers.

The challenge was not being shitty to people, and they failed. That’s why this news gathers so much attention. We are vindicated to see such a horrible group of people brought down.
