Stack Overflow Sunsetting Documentation

Which is strange thing. They always have something [unneeded] in a collapsable block at the top, but I never seen Documentation in there, in SO answers, in google, anywhere.

Few announcements through regular comment notifications would be fine to me even if not interested.

Look again. There is DocumentationBETA in the top bar, it has been there since they started the project.

My first impression when seeing that there is "Why would I look at the documentation for Stackoverflow, I know my way around this website for what I need to do".

Only in the desktop layout, no tablets or phones.

Anyway, who looks at the navbar? People get there by googling a problem they are having now. They're in hurry, no time to look around.

I think he's talking about the big unnecessary "Welcome Back!" box that appears randomly.

Exactly. Doc-beta link mentioned above is at the area I never focused on. Jobs, >Documentation<, Tags.
