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.

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

OP said “even if it’s an archived version.” But sure continue to push your emotional state onto an otherwise unrelated conversation

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.

Plus all the questions about java.util.Date will still be relevant in Java version 100.

Hell. They may even undeprecate java.util.Date .

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.
