When StackOverflow launched in 2008 it lowered the barrier to writing complex software. It solved the longstanding problem of accessing accurate and reliable programming knowledge by offering a collaborative space where programmers could ask questions, share insights, and receive high-quality answers from a community of experts.

Generative AI has impacted the way programmers want to consume this knowledge. It has also opened new possibilities in terms of getting a personalized and real-time response.
StackOverflow has decided to put a fifth of its organizational effort in Generative AI to improve the user experience of the website.

Ellen Brandenberger leads the Product Innovation team at Stack Overflow and she joins us in this episode.
