Yikes. I didn’t even think about this, but it’s true.
I’m looking for the kinds of answers that Google used to surface from stack overflow
- supaflybanzai 2y agoKagi… Fully switched over more than a year ago and never looked back.
- jansan 2y agoThe best way to get useful answers was (and for me still is) to ask Goggle for "How do I blah site:stackoverflow.com". Without the site filter, Google results suck or are just a mess, and stackoverflow's own search is crap.
- JamesBarney 2y agoGoogle used to be better but so was stack overflow. Now a lot of the answers are out-dated. And even more importantly they got rid of any questions where the answer was even a little bit subjective. Unfortunately for users that's almost all the most useful answers.
- skydhash 2y agoNowadays, I just read manuals, docs and books. I mostly use search as a quick online TOC or for that specific errors I’m in no mood to debug.
