It’s slowly dying, everyone knows that in technology standing still means you’re moving backwards and StackOverflow trends towards standing still.
Once every question has been asked and answered every new question is a duplicate and no new information can appear in StackOverflow.
I am seeing more and more often that you look for a solution to an issue in StackOverflow and all you get is fixes that only work on obsolete software. For instance for operating systems a lot is for Windows 7 and before and doesn’t work on Windows 10 anymore.
