Also: the bigger the corpus of already answered questions, it’s more likely that you can just look up an answer instead of asking.

Eventually SO becomes a site exclusively for lurkers instead of a platform for active participation

On the other hand, another week another JavaScript framework, amirite? There continues to be new stuff to ask questions about, but stack overflow failed to be the default location for new stuff. I guess now there's more discussion directly on GitHub and discord.

The JavaScript ecosystem has mostly stabilised. React is 12 years old for example.
