    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.

          One thing that is designed to be future-proof is MarkDown, I’ve been taking profesional and personal notes and exporting important information from web pages to markdown and hosting it on my own PC for a while.

          MarkDown it’s text based so you can have a huge amount of data with just a tiny bit of space. And it is easily translated/rendered as HTML. Apps like Logseq, Obsidian or Markor are good starts for managing huge vaults of information.

          I’m thinking that whe should create a MarkDown community here.

              There’s plenty of software designed to store personal wikis and info in markdown, if you are interested checkout Obsidian, Logseq and Jopling (in that order for me)

      We’re going to have to actually read official documentation instead of relying on some greybeard’s wisdom on SO 🥲
