News: - our server migration, and learning about a caching problem the hard way - a university's adoption of Codidact and how they're helping improve it - new features - update on our technical roadmap Thanks to all who make Codidact better! meta.codidact.com/posts/287662

We were able to catch a window long enough to do the migration with minimal disruption, so it's now done. We expect the new servers to be more resilient, yay!

We've had to delay this migration (not a technical reason but a work issue demanding time). New target is a week from now.

We'll be going read-only for a period of time tonight (December 11, 2022, evening UTC) to finish performing our server migration. More details on our blog: meta.codidact.com/posts/286582

We like to highlight and thank individual contributors. In this installment of Contributor Spotlight, we spoke to a moderator to learn what it truly takes to help shape and sustain our Software Development community. Check it out on our blog now: meta.codidact.com/posts/287102

If you're using Ubuntu, you may have encountered a strange notification that says "pending update to "snap-store" snap, close the app to avoid disruption". Here's how you can deal with it: linux.codidact.com/posts/287070

We'd like to note that our codebase is probably not cursed. Probably.
