I can't put the right words together right now to do him a semblance of justice so that will come later this week... but Piotr is greatly missed here and in the entire community.
He was one of my closest friends.
A joy to hang out with.
A joy to learn from.
A hole left in my heart.

Yesterday evening Piotr Szotkowski, also known as Chastell, has passed away. Friend, partner, great engineer, wonderful person.

People asking questions on Stack Overflow has declined to levels not seen in 15 years. Vibe coding and AI chat bots have made this once vibrant and essential developer community obsolete.
It’s unsurprising its parent company now wants to rebrand away from Stack Overflow.
RIP. You were a real one.

Stack overflow is almost dead
Today, Stack overflow has almost as few questions asked per month, as when it launched back in 2009. A recap of its slow, then rapid, downfall.

Spent my weekend improving the Ruby MCP prototype to allow:
- Fuzzy searching classes
- Query class details like ancestors, methods, definitions
- Query method details like params, owner, and comments
Will try to get it released as experimental feature before RubyKaigi 😁
