I am consistently shocked that anyone ever found c2 insightful or helpful. Maybe it’s one of those things that was better in ye olden days.
Every c2 link I have ever followed was just an incoherent blob of text arguing with itself.
The TvTropes of the programming community, and just as much of a waste of time too.
- remexre 3y agoIt's useful as a survey of (perhaps somewhat old) opinions about a topic; it's pretty useful as a collection of pros/cons, and imo interesting for its historical context besides.
- Bjartr 3y ago> an incoherent blob of text arguing with itself. That's exactly why I find it valuable. Little to no pretense of looking good and a bunch of perspectives in little space. An occasionally useful starting point to get the lay of the land.

- q845712 3y ago> an incoherent blob of text arguing with itself. Kinda like HackerNews but from before someone invented modern threading and quoting, yeah?
- omoikane 3y ago> The TvTropes of the programming community Not sure what you were expecting, but that was very much what some of us were looking for.
- aezart 3y agoA time waster's not always a bad thing; I spent lots of time browsing it back when I was a student intern because it seemed on topic" enough for me to not feel guilty.
