    Same here. You have to work pretty hard fail that badly.

      c2.com ("Pattern Portland Repository's Wiki" or "WikiWikiWeb") is the original Wiki and where the term "Wiki" originates. It's been running since 1995. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb Have some respect!

        Anything can be broken by a rewrite.

          It's working today; what makes you so sure it was code? Nothing new was pushed to the public github repo yet. Last commit was a fix of misspelled "remodeling" in index.html, on Feb 20.

            I merely mean that at some point in the last 20 years it went from being a simple site that displayed text, to a complex site that has to run javascript of some kind before it can display that same text.

  Without three actual real-world examples to point to (not even one is given) it's just an empty rant about an imaginary problem. Computers are too powerful and general; look, one person is writing a novel, another one designing a bridge.
