"Which is bad news for developers"
Nah, we've been through lots of iterations of community for developers, irc, maillists, forums, stackoverflow, etc. Most of my complex questions go through specific discord communities now. I'm not trying to spend a year editing a single post because some swamp ass weanie on stackoverflow has his nose covered in rule dust.
Yes ai has changed the game a bit, but it is not removing community, it's mostly just cutting down on the question duplication
My most recent foray into a new technology was working with vulkan in rust on a mac, stackoverflow is useless compared to the vulkan discord.
fuck discord. this is the only thing I want to add to the other 2 responses
and mind me, matrix wouldn't be that much better in that regard. better, but still bad, because it's a bad format for this.
Down side of discord is huge. It's not searchable to start with / its not index. Often it's not even public information.
It's like storting data on your hard drive/ssd. It's the worst way to share knowledge.
RIP permanence and discoverability
