A few months ago, a Stack Overflow representative asked me if their presence at a dev conference was justified. My positive answer more or less revolved around the importance SO took in the daily life of programmers everywhere.

If only she was there to witness the effect of a 34 minute downtime on an open space full of mobile/back/front developers.

Google's cached versions of SO answers are generally up to date, no? Nice try, lazy developers!

There are plenty of other sites that seem to scrape Stack Overflow questions and answers.
