My experience is that the internet is really bad at forgetting the stuff you want gone, but really good at turning all your bookmarks into 404s and parked domains (another reason why bookmarks are pretty much worthless). So if you don't save it, it'll be gone next time you're trying to look it up. Doubly so if it is something even mildly controversial (now or then).

Triply so if it's hosted by a corporation.

Looking at you, Microsoft. For all the good[0] things you're doing for developers using your platforms, I'm still angry at the way your documentation links rot. It seems that everything that ever linked to MSDN prior to ~2015 will now have their links redirected to 404 or "buy new Surface" page. Hell, plenty of internal links are broken too. It's particularly apparent when trying to read about C++ and COM (vs. C#/.NET, which seems to be MS's main focus).

[0] - In a pragmatic, day-to-day dev experience sense. Explicitly not talking about wider ethical issues here.
