    Stack Overflow has a CEO? WTF for? It’s a repository of information. All the LLMs have already ripped a copy of the site, so where were they planning to generate revenue?

    I hope someone starts a version and integrates it with activitypub and then users can donate towards the hosting costs.

    Stack Overflow is supposed to be the wiki of developers, not a fucking business. I hate these greedy fucks. “let’s make money from other people’s time and effort” 🤮🤮🤮

      It seems you’re unclear on what a CEO is. Even non profit organizations have CEOs (though stackoverflow is very much a for-profit company). A CEO is just the head decision maker in an organization.

      At the end of the day, SO has server hosting costs, and they have to cover those costs somehow. That makes them a business.
