It is clear that the signal to noise ratio of the WWW is getting worse. It's much harder to find good content when using a good old search engine. And if it's good it is usually hosted on Reddit or Stackexchange.

So remember, even if it's easy too Google something (well, it isn't nowadays), we want to create a fediverse of good content that helps people (I hope). So, it's always better to write a real answer if you have the time and energy. Please help boost the SNR and reverse the AI fueled information degradation loop.

Funny, I wrote plenty of documentation and release notes. In some cases I even got direct commit permissions to the repositories after a while.

And if monetized projects want to have obscure docs: edit the Arch wiki.

Yeah, me too. Im not suggesting all devs are assholes, but Lemmy is one example.

When that happens I do publish the docs online and call out the devs for back stabbing their community.
