This is a nice summary on what made Stackoverflow great in its peak and what you wrote about getting an answer approved on there was really a big thing. But ChatGpt (and all its AI friends) was the Stackoverflow killer, lets be honest. Its a better service, gives the answers you need (more or less) and without the feeling of being somehow stupid or worthless in the process. But I think this is fine, Stackoverflow served a purpose when it was needed and now it can retire gracefully.
