These append-only community-driven docs were, like PHP itself, an amazing feature in 2001.
The massive amount of garbage and the downvoting wasn't a thing then.
They came when the Internet got populated by normies.
StackOverflow stopped being a fun place to be, too.
- insertchatbot 2y agoI completely forgot StackOverflow was even a thing. Haven’t used it since ChatGPT 3.5 was released
- sshine 2y agoIt was declining years before LLMs.
- sixplusone 2y agoI believe that the documentation is a huge reason why php became so dominant on the net. Human curated, many real-work examples and helpful comments to get things done. It's all I needed to learn web dev.
