Usually the provider of a system or a standard also provides the documentation. Should my employer also pay to keep MSDN c# docs up to date? Or should that be the task of microsoft employees?
- avolcano 6y agoMicrosoft gates plenty of training content behind Visual Studio subscriptions. Also, who is the "provider" of the web platform?
- wongarsu 6y agoThe provider of standards around the web is ostensibly the w3c, in reality whatwg or Google. Any of these three would be good candidates to run something like mdn. However that would probably make mdn more political and opinionated.

- hyperrail 6y agoNo, we at Microsoft don't make you pay for any of our own developer training material with a VS subscription. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/benefits/#training?cat=visual-studio-enterprise-subscription https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/benefits/#training?cat... - you can see that the learning materials you get for subscribing all come from third-party partners, from whom you could buy the same things separately.
