I am surprised at the amount of hate for Stack Overflow here. As a developer I can't think of a single website that has helped me as much over the last ten years.
It has had a huge benefit for the development community, and I for one will mourn its loss.
I do wonder where answers will come from in the future. As others have noted in this thread, documentation is often missing, or incorrect. SO collected the experiences of actual users solving real problems. Will AI share experiences in a similar way? In principle it could, and in practice I think it will need to. The shared knowledge of SO made all developers more productive. In an AI coded future there will need to be a way for new knowledge to be shared.
Aha! is the #1 tool for product managers to plan strategy and roadmaps. We serve more than 700,000 users worldwide. We are looking for:
* Experienced Rails security engineer to work on the Aha! product. Our application is built in Ruby on Rails, with React on the frontend for rich client-side experiences.
Aha! is profitable, you can work from anywhere in North or South America, and we offer excellent benefits. We use our own product to manage our work (which is especially rewarding) and we deploy continuously.
Our entire team has always been 100% remote - in North American timezones so we can collaborate during the work day.
Typescript. I imagine most people writing Rails applications are also writing typescript for front-end code, so being able to use the same muscle memory for Ruby typing seems high desirable. That is the thing that stood out to me when I saw this site: it looks like they are taking the very positive lessons from Typescript and applying them to Ruby.
I agree with other posters here. I don't need everything typed - Ruby's duck typing is an awesome feature - but I do wish that some of the more important interfaces in our code were more strongly self-documenting and enforced.

Hey there. I've applied to your open RoR dev position, like, a bunch of times- and have not once even heard back. No rejection, no update, no nothing. Is this offering real? I'd still like to throw my hat in the mix but am not sure what the next step is when there's no feedback loop?
It is real. I am the CTO and co-founder of Aha!, and also personally interview every engineer we hire.
A human reviews every job application we get, but unfortunately we can't respond to them all - we get thousands - but most of the applications are not related to the position requirements at all. I can tell you that if your resume matches what we are looking for then we typically schedule an interview within a few days. I see that you posted this same comment previously. Commenting was already locked by HN by the time I saw it then.
Why do I keep posting on HN? It works. The profile of engineers we have hired for our team, and the sorts of engineers who read HN has a great overlap. There are other things we look at too. Your Github profile is really important: people who contribute to open source have demonstrated their ability to work on a distributed remote team, but even more importantly it gives you a way to show that you can tackle interesting problems in interesting ways.
The seamless integration between one type of object and another is really impressive. The way that the blocks in the roofline perfectly work regardless of the height of the roof is a great example.
How is this possible? Is it some kind of procedural geometry that fills in the available space?
As far as I know they are using a customised variant of the "wave-function collapse" technique, used and popularised by Oskar Stalberg in his games "Bad North" and "Townscaper".
The technique boils down to hand-crafting tons of tiles with adjacency rules about which tiles can slot together. When the user adds/removes a tile the algorithm iteratively tries to find fitting tiles and, if needed, changes neighbouring tiles for ones with the best transitions.
He gave a talk where he goes into detail about this[1]. You can also find more if you google his name and "wave-function collapse".
