Even if it’s just an archived version, someone somewhere will find utility in IT or coding advice posted over a century ago.
Doubt it. The way Web companies work, they eventually enter an entshitification phase and then die out. Zero chance stackoverflow last until the end of the century.
OP said “even if it’s an archived version.” But sure continue to push your emotional state onto an otherwise unrelated conversation
Who downvoted this? The person you replied to didn’t read the post.
I used to work for a very old company that still has digitized copies of many, if not most, of its oldest records available for reference. It was surreal looking at internal technical documentation for things that stopped existing 50 years ago
People are doubtful, but I read a post on Gamefaqs from like, 25 years ago and they went through plenty of enshittification. I look forward to sharing the ancient texts with my great grandkids on how to get the best sword in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Im sure people will still be using Java 8 then, so its fine
And every single bank will still use COBOL
Plus all the questions about java.util.Date will still be relevant in Java version 100.
Hell. They may even undeprecate java.util.Date .
When you bump a 100 year old thread because the only answer was some guy telling OP to use different software.
Maybe if science extends our lives substantially, the original poster will respond.
Only if people are still around in 100 years.

The mods will by then be replaced with bots that remove every new question by default because it was probably answered like 65 years ago and if not it’s not a good question.
As long as it posts the original link and never closes the original… I’m okay with that.
More likely that AI will be answering questions drawing on training sets containing forum posts that are over 100 years old.
The AI: “Question marked as duplicate.”
Probably rare. I guess occasionally people link to old usenet posts…
Somehow, C will still be around.
As AI keeps progressing, it’s more than likely that humans will no longer code anything in the near future.
You’ll start a conversation with your AI, describe what you are trying to achieve, and the AI can write and debug code faster and better than you ever could.
At some point AI will be able to train itself, improvise, and even experiment with solutions to find the optimal ones. I wonder how long it will take.
And The Art of Computer Programming will finally be finished?
I have to wonder the medium we will be using then. Will it be a heads up display in our eyes by then?
Maybe we will just share a hive mind, Borg-style.
