I came to say similar. I ran a personal blog for a while and toy with the idea of revamping it occasionally. But my objections generally fall into two categories: * For tech-heavy programming/operations how-to or bugfix content, Stack Overflow killed those for me. As a consumer would rather find the bubbled-up "right" answer than wade through Google hits for forums/blogs that may or may not be right. As a writer, I no longer felt my personal blog was the best place for such content. * For opinions on current events, industry, etc. I don't feel I have something new or important to say.

I feel old and curmudgeonly now. Thanks.

Re: Stack Overflow

I think there is still quite a lot of value for solutions that you could devise because of experience.

For instance something you came up with where you had to piece together multiple SO answers for a particular use case.

For example, my blog has had thousands of hits on a page to set up Active directory login with rails even though that question is on SO because my use case was quite specific.

Or, things that you came up with because you have experience with reading the docs or the source code.

Or even where you were skilled enough to override part of existing library for a better solution.

And finally quirks that you discovered while using specific tools that might be documented but might have side effects that are a bit more arcane.
