>Not Reddit. Reddit is gone, it used to be nice. How is IRC still nice but Reddit "gone"? Most IRC channels are a ghost town full of idlers. There are plenty of niche communities on Reddit (not just 'extreme' ones)

I like DokuWiki. I use it for personal projects but I couldn't picture it being used as an enterprise tool.

It feels like we're being astroturfed by SV recruiters. It blows my mind when I see people playing ping pong, pool, and arcade games at work. Why would anyone spend an hour or more playing games in the office rather than just getting

I'm dealing with frustrating CORS issues right now. We have a CDN intercepting outgoing requests from a request resource and nobody here can seem to figure out how to get it to keep allowed headers for OPTIONS method requests.

It sticks in your brain in more ways than one. When someone tells you about Bvckup, they have to clarify "Backup with a V" and that forces you to think about it longer because there's no letter in "backup" that cou

Definitely analyze traffic logs. Global usage may be 2.3% but if OP's product demographic overlaps with IE11's (most likely elderly folks) then dropping IE11 support could be costly.
