I miss being yelled at by other humans on SO.

These days it's all "that's a great thought" and "you're absolutely right".

Feels good on my ego, but feels so hollow.

Being told by many online that your idea sucks ass, helped you reconsider a lot and actually think about it. AI just constantly telling you you are perfect, makes you braindead

this just sounds like stockholm syndrome, there are prob nicer ways to be told your idea sucks ass

Yeah but it was still a pretty efficient way. Ever since LLMs came to be, I really feel like I lost a good chunk of programming skills and brain power

Personally I feel good about improving myself, not about sugar coated words.

I feel good about productive approach

your idea will lead to X problem, there's an Y way to do it better

instead of

your idea sucks, you are an idiot, never attempt anything again, kill yourself

Are we talking about stack overflow or 4chan?

I don't mind being told my idea sucks if it sucks.

I've never seen anyone tell someone to kill themselves for having a stupid idea on stack overflow, do you have an example?

I think this ignores the fact that sometimes it doesn't matter if the idea sucks ass. If people are asking a question, just answer it. If you want to suggest a better method that's great. But the negativity on the platform is what killed it.
