Issue 267: Q&A and beyond
-------------------------
Here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are on the cusp of Spring, so we're thinking about the growth and change coming in the future. The weather is getting slightly warmer, brave flowers are budding, and the snow is melting. For Stack Overflow, we're thinking about how we can grow and change to keep our public community vibrant in the face of an AI present. To that end, we had a Q&A with some of our leadership team over YouTube. If you missed it, we've got a quick recap that touches on all the possibilities that we're mulling over. Of course, we're also talking about AI: how testing can benefit and the variations of LoRA. And if you want to share your views on AI instead of reading and hearing ours, we're running a survey on using open-source AI. We also have a collection of curated curiosities for you, surfaced by the Stack Overflow team and Cassidy Williams. If you want to build a pipe organ, get your tiny gecko friend honest work (or poach them from their current position), or configure Git the way core Git developers do, we've got you covered.
