Thanks for trying it out!

We can definitely be clearer on our focus for programming related queries. We usually don't display code snippets for non-programming questions but definitely still tuning a couple things there.

We're not focused on simple factoid answers like population of cities because that's not where people get the most value.

AWS API is a bit tricky because it is a rather broad technology with SDKs in different languages and thus the search results for a question will return a mishmash of solutions which we then try to make sense of. If you share some sample queries you tried related to this, I'd be happy to look into them and improve our answers there.

Business model: We're currently just focused on building something developers want. Agree that ads and dev tools aren't the most synergetic.
