   What a post. On Stack Overflow without karma you couldn't even comment on wrong answers, fix them or anything. I would spend time on there looking for questions I could answer in hope I could get enough karma, but I didn't.

   Deleted my account after a while and never looked back. Also toxic community in general.

   So glad now I can just spar with AI to troubleshoot stuff.

      Agreed, StackOverflow was and continues to be a toxic “community.” In addition to toxic behavior, the site has issues with bad answers being selected or what were once correct are now outdated.

      It’s also funny how he bemoans billionaires but he himself is a centimillionaire who sold StackOverflow for $1.8 billion.
