Since being forced to use this terrible communication method in my teams and groups, I’ve been copy-and-pasting good Q&A threads into text files that I push to an enterprise GitHub repo for perma-store. At least that way other engineers and myself can either use GitHub’s search or clone the repo locally, grep it, and even contribute back with PRs. Sometimes from there, turn into a wiki, but that’s pretty rare. My approach is horribly inefficient and so much stuff is still lost, but it’s better than Discord’s search or dealing with Confluence.

At my job we bought an entire different product (glean) and are paying them a ton of money every month just because they can search our confluence wiki effectively lol

Hear hear!

I too find my garbage heap notes file checked into GitHub to be better than confluence.

But I hate confluence so much I should probably bring it up at therapy sometime...
