It depends on the topic/domain, but I have fond memories of being on various mailing lists, and there was also usenet.
- ianmcgowan 5y agoCame to say this - the more niche usenet groups were full of helpful people that didn't mind answering questions, and discussing fuzzy issues. I don't think of the developer eras as pre-SO vs post-SO, more pre-Google vs post-Google, though SO has definitely been a net positive.
