I guess the meme is vibe coding is the new stack overflow? Sounds about right. Though vibe coding is even less useful stack overflow was.

Stack Overflow has always had limited use for professional software engineers that have progressed beyond junior level. I've really only ever used it for remembering obscure bash syntax for the umpteenth time.

I love googling something and landing back on Stack Overflow posts I made and/or answered myself in the past.

I'm pretty sure I've have annotated a line of code with a stack overflow question/answer I've made before, in a sense maybe.
