Thinking of it, I haven’t seen as many “copy paste from StackOverflow” memes lately. Maybe LLMs have given people the ability to

1) Do that inside their IDEs, which is less funny

2) Generate blog post about it instead of memes



Python one-upped that a long time ago:

  from stackoverflow import quick_sort

30 years ago (well, 28 years ago) we had the Perl Cookbook which was basically Stack Overflow but printed and without annoying moderators closing your questions. That and the camel book never even made it back to my bookshelf because they just always sat open on my desk.
