I'm a self-trained tech guy, which means I routinely break things and spend an hour reading through StackOverflow posts to find out how to fix an elementary problem

@windowsdev Everything. The freedom of creativity. Problem solving. The satisfaction you get when you finally fix something without stack overflow 😆

Spent way too long trying to debug a wonky css issue (cursor: pointer wasn't working right) only to end up at a 5+ year old Stack Overflow saying "close photoshop, it messes up your browser" and lo and behold, wtf? How have I never noticed that before?!

Read the do***entation if I've.
Open stack overflow and search the solution.

@sumusiriwardana I first try to understand the problem or the error.
Then I try to figure it out by googling, Stackoverflow or ChatGPT.
If I can't find a solution yet, then I ask for help.

never write down a single line of code that you don't understand.
If you're following a tutorial: Pause there and search it on google, Stackoverflow, or chatGPT.
Your goal is to understand the code, not only write it.

Y'all. For months I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my code. I consulted colleagues, Stack Overflow, other discussion/help forums, etc. No suggestion worked.
#ChatGPT just helped me figure out the problem in 15 seconds.
I don't know what to say.

@Ina_Vaxx good luck!
while learning make sure to do your best to not give up and rather find a solution to a problem either by yourself or by finding the answer on a programming forum like StackOverflow or CodeAnswers!
You can do this!

It's funny when you search for a long time for a problem in google and you find your own answer in @StackOverflow
Then I ask myself how did I came to that answer 😂

@joool_f Excellent use case. Since you are an expert in English, it should be easy for you to check the revised email. The problem arises when you need it to do smthg you know little about.
I think of stack overflow as a means to *learn* how to solve my problem. Better not copy-paste 😉

As usual, I investigated the error, looked at the relevant do***entation, did some googling to find out more information, ultimately ending up on StackOverflow at https://t.co/JeRJMW6qxy.
That answer, besides showing how to fix the error, was extremely enlightening. Why?

@CicmilJovan The problem with this line of thinking is that chat GPT is precisely trained on the stack overflow q&a data available. So it may answer for current knowledge but not future knowledge. If we stop contributing to stack overflow then ai won’t answer our questions in 5 years

@forgash_ You should send the proposal to the data platforms, would be extremely useful. One of my favorite VSC extensions is Captain Stack, which gives me the StackOverflow answer to a broken line of code without opening a new window and leaving VSC.

The cool thing about writing code is you can be hopelessly stuck on something really simple for hours.
Scouring through docs, trying every suggestion on stackoverflow, and NOTHING works.
Then finally you find that ONE LINE OF CODE you need to write to fix everything.
Magic! 🥳

There’s a real problem with how we conceive of no-code vs code functionality where no-code is on-rails and ignores that “code” isn’t just full freedom but also allows you to copypaste from stack overflow or a favorite example and change some of it to suit your current challenge.

@pfau As a coder I've already given up google searching my problem and trawling through stack overflow and edublogs. It's a fantastic time saver, and I am particularly enjoying just asking for what I need in plain English instead of trying to prompt engineer a search engine.

@robmanuel I've come across this sort of thing before, might be a person in charge of a project that code, getting in a short term contractor who can but needs to write the code to allow "anyone" to change it - so it's probably good code, but would get down-voted on Stackoverflow!

One of the most typical problems with dev questions on Laracasts/Stackoverflow forum is the actual problem/solution is NOT in the code that is posted with the question.
It's somewhere else.
And then everyone needs to collectively guess where.

@SergiiKirianov ChatGPT tries to replicate the style of it's training data, which includes public forums like StackOverflow etc.
Grammarly tries to fix formal errors even if they might not be considered an error by a native speaker and will discourage the use of informal style used in SoMe

@zsk If I'm stuck with an error in my code, I use ChatGPT to help me break down what could possibly going wrong, and then brainstorm fixes/alternatives.
It's so much better than Googling around for a semi-related StackOverflow post.

🙌 What is infinite recursion?
It is when a function calls itself indefinitely without ever reaching a base case. This leads to a stack overflow and can crash your program. It's important to make sure your recursive function has a base case to prevent this from happening.👨💻 https://t.co/F0WNCV9sl5
