I’d imagine it’s a little bit of both to be honest.
There’s definitely algorithmic prioritisation for new content but I think it’s also a bit of a “seek and ye shall find” moment happening.
As an anecdote, very recently I had the opposite thing happening. I was researching something about React and noticed one of the comments ( still applicable actually! ) was from 2015. My head exploded when I realised 2015 is actually 7 years ago so for a short time afterwards I just kept noticing old comments or old content everywhere.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoI hope things like React will just remain relevant for a long time. I'm currently doing a project in React and Go, and for both, things written five+ years ago are still relevant, and will remain so. The Go blog, for example, is a really good resource where posts about e.g. error handling [0] from 2011 are still relevant and essential knowledge today. Instead of replacing it with something new (they tried), it's just appended to [1] but the existing post is still relevant and required reading.
