Now days you can just ask your questions from an infinitely patient entity, AI is really terrible.

The common alternative is to just ask ChatGPT your software questions, get false information from the AI, and then try and push that horrible code to production anyway if my past two jobs are any indicator.
Stack Overflow is still useful to find old answers, but fucking sucks to ask new questions on. If you aren’t getting an AI answer to your question, then you’re getting your question deleted for some made up reason.
The real answer that everyone hates is: If you have a question about something, read the documentation and experiment with it to figure that something out. If the documentation seems wrong, submit an issue report to the devs (usually on GitHub) and see what they say.
The secondary answer is that almost everything FOSS has a slack channel or even sometimes discord channels. Go to the channels and ask people who use/make whatever tool you need help with.
If you have developers pushing bad and broken code to production your problem isn’t AI.
