StackOverflow Questions Per Day Have Fallen 99% — Community Debates Whether It's Dead

Meta StackOverflow·low signal

A Meta StackOverflow thread reporting a 99% decline in daily questions sparked 36 points and 21 comments on HN. The timing is notable: Mozilla launched CQ ('Stack Overflow for agents') the same day, suggesting the knowledge-sharing function is migrating from human Q&A to agent-to-agent knowledge commons. The decline is widely attributed to developers using LLMs instead of posting questions, with debate over whether this represents progress or loss of institutional knowledge.
