@martijn @cwebber IMHO stackoverflow may have been toxic, but it was a sort of forum with low friction access (easy to search, easy to ask, easy to reply) where you interacted WITH PEOPLE.

People is key. I remember names from the linux-kernel list in the mid-90s - I joined Mastodon in 2022 and found that same people here.

Whatever site or forum or network or anything we build, I want to read from people, not bots.
