Classic SharePoint blogs are going away - what next?

So the interesting news is not over - Microsoft recently announced that their personal blogging platform for Office 365, Delve Blogs, is getting retired.

How to find out which WebDriver version is installed on an Azure DevOps build machine using YAML?
