Developer Q&A platform StackOverflow appears to be facing an existential crisis as volume of new questions on the site has plunged 75% from the 2017 peak and 60% year-on-year in December 2024, according to StackExchange Data Explorer figures. The decline accelerated after ChatGPT's launch in November 2022, with questions falling 76% since then.
