Yes I was surprised to hear this as I thought Picard was reasonably recent.

Up until recently I was paying for data storage (I have a couple of repos with LFS) but the billing on that was changed recently so now I'm under the threshold for payment.

I was using StackOverflow pretty heavily in that time. I was doing PHP, Java and Groovy at the time, and PHP's documentation is pretty good. JavaDoc generated from source not so much...

Yeah I thought Jira at least was all built on AWS these days. I've never set up a Jira Cloud instance but I'd be surprised if you don't chose where your data lives.

Gosh I'm at a big company and I'm pretty sure all the self-hosted tools are only accessible through VPN-like tech anyway. The only truly public stuff is Jira, Confluence (which I assume it more to do with Atlassian's pricing of self-hosted) and Sharepoint.

Ironically one of the smaller places I've worked at tried to use an IBM product once - I'm still not clear on what it was meant to do or how it was better than any cheaper alternative, so I assume someone in leadership was fooled by a very impressive pitch.

Lots of work went into integration and it never went live.

TI-84+ for me, though I think it was fairly similar to the TI-83.

Yeah Slim is decent. Still getting regular updates by the looks of it.

Coincidentally a website for one of my hobbies was throwing stack trace one day and I was surprised to see it was using Slim.

I was still hearing that in 2015.
