  SO has previously been up, so your comment has been closed as a duplicate.

    The single most annoying thing about trying to actually ask a question on SO. No overzealous editor that's actually a different error and library entirely...

    I hated that part of SO so much. Almost every time I got a SO result on google it was exactly the issue I had and without fail the question would be closed as a duplicate pointing to something that was different enough to be completely useless to me.

      my greatest achievement is having a question on SO closed for being too narrowly focused and unlikely to be useful to anybody else, and then a multi year history of notifications about "you've earned a popular question badge" for that same question.

      When you had 8 SO tabs open around your issue and the only true relevant one is closed as duplicate. I do NOT miss those days.

  Why would SO be down? If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around does it matter?

  While AWS and CloudFlare are becoming synonymous to The Internet, these AIs are becoming synonymous to The Brain & Thinking for most people out there where losing access to them for even a short time, make them quasi-paralyzed and I really start feeling this now as I haven't written a single coding function in two months now but just a few lines here and there.
