I've always used SO as a source of code snippets, like when I forget how to check the length of an array in JavaScript (I change languages too often to keep it straight). So SO is still useful to me. I suppose I could use an LLM for that, but it's such a quick search, it doesn't seem worth changing my workflow.

I did encounter a math problem once that I asked on math overflow. No one answered it. But then a couple years later I faced the same math problem, so I spent a day to solve it. A couple years later, I ran into the question again, and math overflow helpfully still had my answer.
