I literally skip SO results now. Most of them are so out of date it's often better to find an article or ask chatgpt
Hey if you're like me and working on a project from the 90s the outdated info is great! I found a fucking Visual Basic 5 runtime in this project.
Everybody knows that VB versions start at 6, like there's no Xbox 2
Didn't VB end at 6? Seems like that was the last version before the whole .NET nonsense.
Source: VB programmer in college many moons ago
Didn't they got VB6 -> VB.NET -> VB (~~series~~ no suffix)
You never had the Xbox 2?
I do indeed. But at least my one is vb6 haha
But C# is the one SO seems gives bad results for.
“How do I do XYZ in JavaScript?”
answer using jQuery
Tbf ChatGPT isn’t current either with its 2021 cut off date
ChatGPT has been granted access to the internet. So it should give more up-to-date info in the near future.
Or turn into Ultron.
Too late. The entire web is infested with garbage GPT generated articles with outdated or false information.
Which version? The free 3.5 I’m using isn’t (at least for me)
Just tell google to only show results from the past year.
You are talking like you can get anything out of Google these days. I seriously am using Bing at work. Everyone laugh but do you know who does have their first page full of paid links? This guy.
