I've noticed MS seem to use this to improve their developer documentation, a few pages I've rated poorly have been improved over the years. Annoyingly the same company has "would you like to do a survey" popups all over their other sites a few seconds after you load the page, at least let me read the content first so I can give half informed feedback.
- kaycebasques 8y agoYes, as a general PSA for the HN community, if you see a "was this page helpful?" widget on a developer doc, the team probably really does use that data in order to triage what docs need updating. So if you don't usually interact with those widgets, you might consider trying it. In particularly, if you rate a doc as unhelpful, and they give you a chance to provide freeform feedback, that is usually the most helpful information. Otherwise we have to guess at why a doc is getting a bad rating.
