Stack overflow still have users? These days it rarely shows up on my search results and when it does the answers are always outdated by several years.

What options are there to use instead? I think they’re still often having the best results, and are usually near the top.

I guess I've moved to the part of my career where Stack Overflow isn't that helpful, but I've found a lot of utility in searching issues on GitHub and Reddit posts.

I'm right there with you. It's nice to know it's been there if I needed it. I don't find myself there very often anymore and when I do it's often to compare official docs to other ways to approach something or because the getting started section of the official docs felt weird or wrong.
