EDIT: I don’t like the term ‘soy boy’, just picked ‘soydev’ for a lack of a better word, intending to use it semi-ironically.

recently I saw a project move PR discussions to discord, like what’s the point of using a git forge at this point, you can as well just use git send-email

    When you consider “my problem is solved this time” as documentation then a discord discussion can be considered good documentation. But If you want documentation as reference for everyone and don’t wan’t to repeat process/procedures every time some one needs it. It’s the worst platform for it. And For documentation we never want the first.

    In this context email lists were the best of the best documentation ever.
