As someone who used to write frontend blog posts, I found this issue particularly frustrating, as an author.

I have posts about Angular.js, webpack, React Apollo, etc and they become outdated every 6 months.

The problem is that I wouldn't know about it. Despite having lots pageviews and me asking readers to help notify me in comments, people just come, read and close the window. So the one way I found out they were outdated is when I actually went back to reference them for my own work. It's not fun.

I think it’s a good idea to list versions at the top of the articles.
