many people jokingly say that their work stops if StackOverflow is down. Surprisingly I barely use SO, I refer to docs and Github source code and issues much more often.
They will have to look StackOverflow to fix problems with StackOverflow?
I'll be interested to see a blog post detailing the outage since, at least as of a few years ago, their architecture was pretty simple given the size of the user base. I'm hoping for something as detailed as the last big slack outage.
Interesting seems I hit rate limit after viewing 3 or 4 pages... So they seem to do some real time configuration on that.
And it's back!
edit: It's not back.
On that note: has anyone ever tried to archive SO?
May the "How do SO engineers fix SO without SO"
I know it's the tacky thing to say, but: I feel like StackOverflow has gotten worse over the past couple years. The questions and answers are both lower quality.
It's possible that Google is leading me astray since that's typically how I'll find Q&As on there, but I don't see the same issue on the other sites in the Stack network.
