Ironically, that was my argument for getting rid of Confluence. Confluence should be the low barrier to entry solution, but its buggy, clunky GUI ends up actively punishing anyone who dares try to update docs. So a repo full of markdown f

Can you link the trend search that you found useless? I'm not seeing any changes, but I only use it a few times per year. Not that I'd be too surprised. Google Search and Image Search have become shockingly bad for many of my quer

Wish I'd had this a few years ago. I had to parse Confluence wiki backups which, for reasons only known to Atlassian and god, lacked any closing tags. I ended up writing something similar to this, but mine was a lot kludgier.

Humans have limited RAM, so we have to put our ideas into an external medium that can then be refined. I've been finding AI's suggestions -- even when rather wrong -- help me do that initial step faster. Which, I think, jives with
