I know it's the tacky thing to say, but: I feel like StackOverflow has gotten worse over the past couple years. The questions and answers are both lower quality.<p>It's possible that Google is leading me astray since that's typically how I'll find Q&As on there, but I don't see the same issue on the other sites in the Stack network.
many people jokingly say that their work stops if StackOverflow is down. Surprisingly I barely use SO, I refer to docs and Github source code and issues much more often.
I'll be interested to see a blog post detailing the outage since, at least as of a few years ago, their architecture was pretty simple given the size of the user base. I'm hoping for something as detailed as the last big slack outage.
