As generative AI technologies become more integrated into our software products and workflows, those products and workflows start to look more and more like the LLMs themselves. They become less reliable, less deterministic, and occasionally wrong. LLMs are fundamentally non-deterministic, which means you’ll get a different response for the same input. If you’re using reasoning models and AI agents, then those errors can compound when earlier mistakes are used in later steps.| stackoverflow.blog
Over the last quarter, we’ve expanded our cloud and edtech partnerships, watched Stack Overflow for Teams become more and more embedded in the developer experience, and made great strides on our path to profitability. We’ve also had many internal discussions as a leadership team about ChatGPT and other generative AI tools as they’ve rapidly entered the mainstream.

The competition for technical talent continues to heat up. It seems like every year is “hotter” than the year before. There are over 70,000 technical roles currently open, according to nearly every major job board we checked. Yet, nearly 80% of developers aren’t actively looking for a new job. However, over 50% are open to opportunities if they come their way. This all begs the questions top of mind for nearly every technical recruiting team in the world: How do you attract technical ta...| stackoverflow.blog

At Stack Overflow, we continue to help our customers and community deliver both.| stackoverflow.blog
Ten years ago, I got my first non-academic job as a market researcher and writer. The commute was only about 30 minutes in each direction, but parking was expensive and public transportation wasn’t an option. I rarely had meetings; I communicated with my manager and my colleagues—all seated in the same open-plan office space—almost exclusively via email and chat.| stackoverflow.blog

Throughout history, great thinkers have made predictions about how new technology would reshape the way in which humans work and live. With every paradigm shift, some jobs grow, some change, and some are lost. John Maynard Keynes wrote in 1930 that new technology meant humans would be working 30 hours a week or less, and that the main challenge would be what to do with all our free time. So far, predictions of this nature haven’t exactly come true. As new technology empowers us, we push our...| stackoverflow.blog
