Definitely saw this coming… can’t imagine what will happen if Stack Overflow pulls something similar. All WebDev/DevOps work will halt overnight.
I’ve been trying to put my issues/solutions in a personal blog or wiki, but there’s so much old info out there in sites like Reddit/SO/medium/etc, it’d be a huge loss when it goes away.
Maybe it really is time to get open sourced AI and bots to archive useful information so they don't get monopolized.
We're going to have to actually read official documentation instead of relying on some greybeard's wisdom on SO 🥲
Well, at least stack overflow database dump is available.
At least with SO, they have historically put up dumps of all user data on archive.org (that stopped recently but it's allegedly coming back). If something were to happen, at least the information would still be decently accessible, just not indexed as well.
