c2.com ("Pattern Portland Repository's Wiki" or "WikiWikiWeb") is the original Wiki and where the term "Wiki" originates. It's been running since 1995.

Have some respect!

It's working today; what makes you so sure it was code?

Nothing new was pushed to the public github repo yet. Last commit was a fix of misspelled "remodeling" in index.html, on Feb 20.

Without three actual real-world examples to point to (not even one is given) it's just an empty rant about an imaginary problem.

Computers are too powerful and general; look, one person is writing a novel, another one designing a bridge.
