The creator is fully aware that the site is a mere “weak tool” that is “doomed to die“, but the bus factor of one combined with its semi-legal nature means there can be no real continuity: there will never be a legally incorporated Archive.Today Foundation to carry on his work. It’s a testament to their persistence that they’re managed to keep this up for over 10 years, and I for one will be buying Denis/Masha/whoever a well deserved cup of coffee.

I've always thought it was impressive that Stackoverflow, one of the most important software dev sites on the web, racked their own servers, so this makes me a little sad.

Stack Overflow no longer has any physical datacenters or offices; we are fully in the cloud and remote!
