You never know when knowledge on a scrap of paper floating in the wind turns out to be the key to the door of your destiny.
I've read this site for about 10 years now. The biggest thing is all the random blog posts I wouldn't ordinarily stumble upon. A lot of times, programming problems come up at work, and of course I know all the details of some arcane trivia because of 3 different articles I'd seen on it and different perspectives on it.
The biggest problem is then trying to go back and find which blog article I read. That's impossible.
- moralestapia 3y agoI use the 'favorite' feature as my bookmark list on this site.
