This.
In 2010 Stackoverflow was amazing. Tons of information, everything was up-to-date, great.
And then they close every new question on a similar topic as duplicate, ensuring that if you look up e.g. a Java question you can be sure it's about Java 7. Because we all know I everyone in 2025 is using Java 7.
And of course, neither the questions nor the answers require version tagging and thus hardly any of them have anything like that.
And now they want to take this pool of outdated garbage and feed it into ~~a garbage processing unit~~ AI to make it somehow cooler.
Good luck with that.
