Audit & Remove Dead Links Across the Entire RepoΒ #1487

Description

@dipakkr

Hi everyone! πŸ‘‹

This repo has grown to 1,300+ commits of accumulated links over many years β€” which is amazing! But with that growth comes inevitable link rot. A lot of those URLs are almost certainly broken by now:

  • Courses that have been taken down
  • Platforms that have shut down
  • YouTube channels that were deleted
  • Free tiers that no longer exist
  • Domains that have expired

This is affecting the experience for folks who rely on this repo as a trusted resource, and it's time for a cleanup.

What Needs To Be Done

  • Write or use an existing link-checker script (e.g. markdown-link-check, linkchecker) to scan all .md files
  • Go section by section and flag broken URLs
  • Replace links where a valid alternative exists
  • Remove links where no alternative is found
  • Submit a PR with the changes, grouped by section for easy review

If you have any better idea, please suggest in comments.
