I have a question about nodejs from 2011 that still gets comments and upvotes regularly.
One of my favorite parts I think is the fact that the correct answer changed over time, so I continued to update the question.
At first the answer to "how to read a file one line at a time" was to use a module, later, a better module came along, eventually nodejs finally added native support for file reading.
I had an "annual update" going for a while since the correct answer changed to often.
Eventually someone came along and completely rewrote my question. Wiped all the history, evolution, etc... And boiled it down to "use native"
I was saddened a little, but understood.
I find a number of stack overflow rules/guidelines to be odd. For example: 'do not say "thanks" or "hello" people reading your question do not have time for that's [sic]
It's definitely a community which has been usurped by the aspie side of programming
That said, I still get thanks on it and it makes me smile when I do
