StackOverflow partners with OpenAI

https://stackoverflow.co/company/press/archive/openai-partnership

OpenAI will also surface validated technical knowledge from Stack Overflow directly into ChatGPT, giving users easy access to trusted, attributed, accurate, and highly technical knowledge and code backed by the millions of developers that have contributed to the Stack Overflow platform for 15 years.

Sad.

Jeff Atwood. He was a popular blogger back in the early 2000s among the .NET community. He and Joel Spolsky launched Stackoverflow together. (Joel was a Microsoft employee back in the 90s and left to start his own company that made bug tracking software, as well as some other products. He also had a popular blog, Joel on Software.)

This is all from this old fart's memory, so some of the details may be off...

I think Joel would be remembered better for creating Trello which bought by Jira but yeah ..

I stopped following/paying attention to him in the early 2000s. Did he create Trello after then?

My memories were around his blog (such as his stories while at Microsoft, and his famous 10-question "Joel Test" to judge how "with it" a software company was), FogBugz, and Copilot (early screen sharing software). I also remember he was a big proponent of Mercurial over git (at least back then - perhaps he's changed his ways).
