Claude is better than Stack Overflow for getting answers to programming questions in every way, except that it’s worse for the environment, worse for developer communication skills, worse for the long-term health of open source projects, benefits worse people, etc.

I'm not sure it's worse for developer communication skills. The best documentation I've seen in a codebase was written for Claude, but turns out to be useful for humans too

Not at all convinced by this. That’s one outlier (probably written by an experienced developer) vs. hundreds of thousands of thoughtful and clear SO questions and answers written by people with a range of experience levels.
