A wealth of vintage cmp information, but good heavens he is cranky.

Good one!
From: Seth J. Morabito
I'm going to respectfully disagree .. the
proliferation of modern
JavaScript frameworks that are designed to build single-page apps,
and
make the web virtually impossible to scrape or
mirror in an efficient
and simple way. ... every single page is statically generated at
publishing time and absolutely nothing is dynamic.
It's not clear that it's the dynamic nature of the content he's unhappy
with;
it might just be that having stuff scattered across a zillion personal
pages
(be they blogs, or whatever) is going to make it hard to find the useful
one
when needed, and that's why he's cranky. (Well, more so than he usually
is.... :-)
If it's got something oddball term in the text, a Web indexer might be able
to find it, but what if your search term turns up 17,239 matches? Finding
the
useful needle in the hackstack of crap on the current Web is a tall order -
so tall, that I suspect a lot of people don't even try, just shoot off an
email to CCTalk in the hopes that someone here will enlighten them.
I've seen a number of instances recently where people's questions were
answered on the CHWiki, but apparently they couldn't find it. So they
wound up asking here...
