What are the issues with them in 2024? Like actual examples.
I don't do webdev but the answers never seemed completely wrong whenever I had to look something up and I know I've read praise in recent years about how they completely revamped and the old "wrong?" Information was fixed. I know some people like to recommend other docs over them but that's not saying they're wrong or bad, just not as good.
