I had posted a question on there over 8 years ago. I got a notification the other day that someone answered it. Then an hour later someone closed it saying the question was off topic lol. It really wasn’t btw, but this is what makes stack overflow such a shit site and why it’s been on the decline for years. Even before LLMs.

No it’s not. It’s very expensive to run and there are a lot of edge cases. It’s much easier to have regional redundancy for a fraction of the cost.
