Value of stackoverflow and reddit in the era of AI

If I want an answer, LLMs are fine. But if I want opinions from real persons who have faced similar issue before and come out with their own solutions, stackoverflow works really well.

I can get:

  • real-world example

  • people criticizing with other opinions

  • reason why they didn't choose different approaches

The awesome part is that I can get all of these at once. There are already pre-discussed questions in stackoverflow and reddit and those discussions are worth reading.

reactions

I completed the PR yesterday but found a problem that I'm not using foreign key to connect between reactions and reactable objects (issues, PRs...)

search

It's bit tricky because I need to implement FTS. I don't know how to implement query searches in future (things like is:opened or sth)
