Actually you've been alienating the developers for years and no rebranding will fix that.

Thanks for the announcement that at some indeterminate point in the future you will announce a rebranding. I'll take that under advisement, this is very worthwhile information.

How they prioritized that list is exactly how they have prioritized their operations.

I'm assuming every SO question and answer has been scraped or sold. What value does it have anymore?

What I really liked was the job board, as it had interesting opportunities for engineers that actually care.

Never been a fan of the way questions/answers were managed.

Deleted my account many years ago when it became clear that I was the product.

Does anyone really care?

I saw "Meta" at the top and thought they'd bought them :-o

Ya, because a new brand is what they need.

I wish them luck.

For myself, I no longer find utility in the site. I now use LLMs to do what I used to use SO for, and find them to be far more useful.

I am aware that a lot of that usefulness, is because the LLMs trained on SO content.
