Decoder with Nilay Patel

Stack Overflow users don't trust AI. They're using it anyway

15 Dec 2025

Description

Stack Overflow CEO Prashanth Chandresekar was last on the show in 2022 — just one month before ChatGPT launched and upended literally everything for Stack Overflow in a deeply existential way.  He called a company emergency, reallocated about 10 percent of the staff to figure out solutions to the ChatGPT problem, and made some pretty huge decisions about structure and organization to navigate that change — all of it pure Decoder bait.
