I&#x27;m sorry, you don&#x27;t have enough reputation points to keep your job. This job is already performed in another thread (that&#x27;s 8 years old but totally not out of date).<p>I also have an irrelevant pedantic objection to your job that I will couch in sneering dismissals of your question and fake brags about my credentials, but please make sure to upvote this answer on your way out of the building.

Yeah…this one makes a lot of sense. I don’t know about y’all but my visits to Stack Overflow have probably gone to about 1&#x2F;10 of what they were before ChatGPT.

I&#x27;m starting to notice a trend of mentioning AI in these layoff notices.

Here it comes, lots of human programmers deprecated and replaced. Both seniors and juniors affected.<p>Learn to adapt and migrate to Copilot, Ghostwriter and AI assisted programming with assisted code documentation and less of a need for programmers in general.

Here&#x27;s an idea for those who want to achieve a fast high ranking on Stack Overflow:<p>1. Use their API 2.3 to get the latest questions for your area of interest (Javascript&#x2F;React, whatever):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;api.stackexchange.com&#x2F;docs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;api.stackexchange.com&#x2F;docs</a><p>2. Feed the questions into your LLM of choice such as Huggingface StarCoder:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;blog&#x2F;starcoder" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;blog&#x2F;starcoder</a><p>3. Review the answer manually to make sure it&#x27;s legit and not a hallucination or just plain wrong: ideally writing some nice UI so you can see, say, the SO Q on the left, proposed answer on the right, and a bottom terminal where you can run the proposed solution code to verify. With enough self-verification loops you could cut out the wetware middleperson, but this manual step is crucial to avoid incorrect answers and to keep with SO policy:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;meta.stackoverflow.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;421831&#x2F;temporary-policy-chatgpt-is-banned" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;meta.stackoverflow.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;421831&#x2F;temporary-po...</a><p>4. Parley #3 to quickly up your ranking to be one of the top users in your area of expertise:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackoverflow.com&#x2F;users" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackoverflow.com&#x2F;users</a><p>5. Submit a Y Combinator application to create a company doing 1-4 above to solve real world software problems posted online, like Mechanical Turk meets Stack Overflow meets Upwork.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ycombinator.com&#x2F;apply&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ycombinator.com&#x2F;apply&#x2F;</a><p>6. Bonus points if you are the first &quot;post-code&quot; startup whose code for doing #5 above is actually written 100% by transformer agents:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;docs&#x2F;transformers&#x2F;transformers_agents" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;docs&#x2F;transformers&#x2F;transformers_agents</a>

Its purely archive site.. if you can write the question... chat GPT can answer it better. Obviously the learning experience writing the question in a way everyone understood was a learning thing.. i will miss that... RIP Stackoverflow
