Actually, this deserves a wider audience.
Just now I read a toot[1] that says we shouldn't be so dependent on MDN, given the recent AI disaster. We should do our own documentation.
The problem is funding. How will writers get paid? People look away from this question because it's Not Done to talk about money. Which is bullshit we need to get rid of.
And remember: I used to maintain the precursor site to MDN + caniuse, mostly unpaid. So I know what I'm talking of.
