Stack Overflow, the world's largest programming Q&A website, has seen monthly questions plummet from 200,000 to less than 1,000 now. Visits to Stack Overflow, the world's largest programming Q&A website, have continued to decline after the advent of AI tools. More and more developers are asking questions and looking for solutions through AI. This has led to a continued decline in the number of active users on Stack Overflow and a sharp drop in the number of user questions. Looking at the statistics is really shocking: ● March 2014: 207,100 questions asked in the month ● June 2020: 171,800 questions asked in the month ● November 2022: 109,100 questions asked in the month ● October 2023: 52,300 questions asked in the month ● October 2024: Questions asked in the month 23,100 ● October 2025: 0.52 million questions asked in the month ● September 2026: 961 questions asked in the month OpenAI ChatGPT was officially launched at the end of November 2022. At that time, Stack Overflow’s monthly average questions were still about 100,000. One year later, in October 2023, In April, the average number of questions per month plummeted by 50%. In the past year, in addition to ChatGPT, various AI chatbots have sprung up online. Then there are various programming agents based on artificial intelligence. Developers only need to put forward requirements, and the rest of the architecture design, code generation, debugging, and repair problems are all completed by the agents themselves. Therefore, many developers no longer need to ask questions or seek existing solutions on Stack Overflow. Public knowledge bases are under pressure to update: Stack Overflow has accumulated a large number of public questions and answers over the years, and developers can search to find historical questions, community editors, and solutions proposed by different users. AI agents change the way these answers are obtained and also change the path by which new experiences are propagated. Developers can now solve questions in private AI conversations, but the resolution process does not appear on the Internet for others to search, discuss, and revise like public answers. For programming languages, frameworks, and development tools with frequent version updates, it is still important to continue to add new questions and answers.
