digitalocean buying it up is such a disaster waiting to happen. feels like we're just feeding some big llm training machine at this point lmao.
>paying to train LLMs
if they don't keep the bylines intact then what even was the point of the acquisition?

theyll probably just strip the content for their own docs or tutorials. its way cheaper to rewrite existing stuff than to pay actual humans to write new articles. rest in peace good old css-tricks

yeah, just turning it into a giant documentation graveyard for their cloud services. feels like that's already happening with half the dev blogs lately.

just use pytube or some scraper script to archive everything before they wipe it. works fine for static text and code snippets but won't help if they start deleting the old comment sections. i already got a local copy of all the flexbox guides saved. literally all the good stuff is gonna be gone once the bots take over. dont wait until the site is just a bunch of dead links.
