SO is officially dead according to the graph of number of questions posted per month.

Google+SO was my LLM between 2007-2015. Then the site got saturated. All questions were answered. Git, C# Python, SQL, C++, Ruby, PHP, most popular topics got "solved". The site reached singularity. That is when they should have frozen it as the encyclopedia of software.

Then duplicates, one-offs, homeworks started to destroy it. I think earth society collectively got dumber and entitled. Decline of research and intelligence put into online questions is a good measure of this.
