Original: StackOverflow now gets fewer than 1000 questions a month
New data from Stack Exchange's query tool shows Stack Overflow now receives fewer than 1,000 questions per month, a dramatic decline for what was long the internet's dominant programming Q&A site. Commenters attribute the drop to AI coding assistants answering questions instantly, stricter moderation, and declining engagement from the developer community.
Why now: The steep decline suggests AI chatbots are replacing traditional developer Q&A forums, raising questions about the site's future.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 24 snapshots from 5 h ago to 7 min ago.
