Eastern Orthodoxy is macOS

Why were 64 bit CPUs such a big deal in 2003 when Nintendo already mass-produced them in 1996?

ITT you are the CEO of StackOverflow, how do you make more money now that LLMs are cutting into your profits?

I say we gamify the website.
>add a virtual currency, loot boxes/gacha mechanics, and a f2p live service model
>add paid cosmetics which you can add to your profile
>each season we will have a battle pass
>add several premium subscription tiers
>do collabs with famous IPs, like John Wick, Family Guy, Dragonball, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Naruto
>market heavily to children so that we have lifelong users
>pay influencers/streamers to stream our website and praise all the new game mechanics. People like xQc. He doesn't have any background in programming/CS? Who cares, just pay him to stream our website.
It's just that simple.
