“On a year-over-year basis, traffic to Stack Overflow (stackoverflow.com) has been down by an average of 6% every month since January 2022 and was down 13.9% in March.”
Stack Overflow traffic fell 13.9% year over year in March while ChatGPT pulled 1.6 billion visits. GitHub Copilot trial signups more than tripled in a month to over 800,000. Some of what ChatGPT knows about code came from digesting Stack Overflow answers. The models ate the forum and now they’re starving it.
