Sometimes we wonder what is the point.

      In tech, current documentation is just a fancy way of saying “this was true for five minutes in 2022..

    2. LMAO, programming docs are like a meme about aging—they’re old the moment they’re written! 🤣

    3. Politics:

      Oh that textbook *was* outdated until like 10 years ago, since we are now making the same mistakes as X years ago; meaning it has become relevant again…

      Politics “that’s an outdated belief”
      “That means it has withstood the test of time”

    5. And then the school says they’re extending the programming textbook because they don’t want to switch it out next year.

      Historians: this textbook was written 2000 years ago and it a great source you can have. of course, The author is biased, but still, if you can think critically and have aecheological research, it is a best we have

      Ah I remember when professor said.
      ” if we are exact, 1 month ago made lecture is outdated already”

      When I started coding my websites required changes before I even finish them because NextJS kept issuing changes.

      Meanwhile: “00110001 00110000 00110000 00100000 01111001 01100101 01100001 01110010 00100000 01101111 01101100 01100100 00100000 01100011 01101111 01101101 01101101 01100001 01101110 01100100 01110011 00100000 01100111 01101111 00100000 01100010 01110010 01110010 01110010 01110010”

    9. I remember back in the early ’00s we used to use programming textbooks as monitor stands because it would be out of date within a year anyway.

      I used a 3D Studio MAX textbook for years as a monitor stand after it outlived its 6 months or so of usefulness.

      EDIT: Nice to see 3DS MAX still going after all these years. $3065 per year for me or $9195 for 3 years, which is… $3065 per year. Thanks for the loyalty discount, Autodesk!

    10. I don’t know about other countries but I remember my maths text book in Grade 8 being obsolete halfway into our school year because the department of education decided that a method used in the text book must be changed to another (we get marks not only on the correct answer but the method used) I don’t remember which method it was just I remember getting a small stack of badly printed papers with the new method on it
