It is clear that the signal to noise ratio of the WWW is getting worse. It's much harder to find good content when using a good old search engine. And if it's good it is usually hosted on Reddit or Stackexchange.

So remember, even if it's easy too Google something (well, it isn't nowadays), we want to create a fediverse of good content that helps people (I hope). So, it's always better to write a real answer if you have the time and energy. Please help boost the SNR and reverse the AI fueled information degradation loop.

You ever revisit an old problem, search it, find someone with the exact problem and as you read it think "yes... YES! This person has my exact same problem! Wait, the tone sounds familiar..."

Only to realize you found your own post from an old throwaway account? With no replies.

Because I have. It's soul crushing.

No, because I went back and answered my own question.
