Currently struggling with searching for the usual developer queries, but not getting the answers I need :(

“Something something random package name is suddenly broken Reddit”

The backup is using the same query with “stack overflow”, but that knowledge has become dated.

Around the rise of Slack, and then Discord and Teams, knowledge started becoming transferred between open source devs within their corresponding chat. People would get their answer on a VueJs issue and move on… The end result was that Google never picked that up, and the next dev popped in the chat the next day with the exact same question.

In the last couple years, Reddit has become the place for devs to do q&a as well.

It’s also making it difficult for me to communicate with prospective users online for simple market research and feedback.
