I'm curious if Stack Overflow was a good resource for human learning? As in, run into a problem, look through other related questions and answers, check the documentation, struggle for awhile learning and figuring out how to frame and pose the question, struggle some more while you wait to get an answer. I kind of find LLMs "too easy" and can distinctly feel myself "not learning", not the way I used to, but after all I am getting older.

I'm pretty sure you can get a stack overflowy experience out of an llm with the right system prompt, but the human factor might not be the same. Not wanting to be berated by others on the internet is maybe underrated as a motivational tool. How are we going to get that back?

Not to mention the helping and teaching other people aspect, which feels good, it feels like there isn't as much of that now. Or maybe it has just moved away onto Discord etc, but GitHub definitely doesn't feel like it has that aspect, if you don't also personally know other contributors and reviewers. Curious if others feel this way.
