Heh... well, I am old enough to remember the offline MSDN - which was great, and the rough transition to online - which got better, eventually... (and the rise of StackOverflow makes more sense in that context) but then at the beginning of the "cloud-era", IMO, it got worse again - to the point that I was constantly complaining about blog articles by MSFT employee's that really should have been folded into the actual documentation/KB instead...

It's a hard sell to tell an IT decision-maker in a different team/group that you need to configure things "just so" (think TechNet versus MSDN for configuration/operational articles) when all you have to point them too is a non-official blog post...

(Don't even get me started about the quality/out-of-date materials for things like Dynamics 365...)
