Now brace yourself, the tech world stands still for a while: “Stack Overflow is currently offline for maintenance”
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOL! 😂 C’mon people still don’t try to seek answers to problems on Stackoverflow do they?! I mean seriously most of the questions and answers are complete rubbish 🤣 🤦♂️
@prologic@twtxt.net Well, I have to confess that whenever a Stack Overflow post pops up in the search results of my least mistrusted search engine the answer(s) there are spot on and exactly what I’m looking for most of the time. Of course there are the occasional exception, but I’m actually very happy with what I dig up there. Sometimes I need to scroll through a few answes to get what I need, but in general the first answer appearing below the question is fairly good. There are super bad answers, no doubt. But you can tell them apart immediately and just skip them right away.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, if not exactly what I’m after, I get new ideas and hints for a refined next search attempt. I haven’t posted anything either, I’m just reading existing questions and answers.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org My experience is I have to scroll most of the time and infrequently there is no answer at all 🤦♂️
@prologic@twtxt.net Yep, encountered a few unanswered ones lately, too. But most of the time I can’t complain.
