I wouldn't say StackOverflow is especially beloved by developers. Coders on X/Twitter used to complain about how much they dislike SO all the time; I see less of those now, probably because they've switched to using ChatGPT. When I've seen blog posts or headlines about them in the past 1-2 years, they're usually about how "StackOverflow is dying."

It's worth keeping in mind that there are a certain kind of people that inhabit twitter and we aren't exactly the appreciative kind, nor are we representative of a presumed developer monolith which doesn't exist.

Obviously tech isn't a monoculture and everyone has their own unique opinions, however...

I think it boils down to more of "Hey, we can criticize StackOverflow since we're on the inside... but if someone attacks from the outside, we have its back."

SO is mainly used and loved by entreprise developers not hanging out on Twitter, HN etc.

And they're the majority of devs. The majority of everything is around the average.
