not sure why people feel the need to complain in the comments of this anniversary post for a free service. been using the MDN docs for 5+ years and its been an invaluable resource that also promotes exploration - ive stumbled upon so many incredible APIs and capabilities i never wouldve have sought out otherwise. congrats on 20 years!

This feels a bit like Stroustrops comment “There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses”. If MDN was not such an invaluable service, not nearly as many people would end up forming opinions!

As someone who only dabbles in the web platform I’ve always found the MDN pages to be very refreshing compared to a lot of documentation out there
