On the subject of SO: I think it's worth considering how (incredibly!) valuable the public record of questions and answers is. Many, many times I don't have to ask a question b/c I can find a comparable one that has already been answered.

I really dislike how Slack is starting to dominate in the Q&A space for specific projects/libraries, b/c it does the entire dev community a disservice to hide knowledge into a myriad of little silos that Google doesn't index.

Long way of saying it would be awesome if BugRex had a searchable/spiderable archive.




We are very much considering opening up the chat logs!


Or everyone could just use IRC. Seems like a waste of man-hours and talent to recreate something we've had for decades.
