There was a problem hiding this comment.
The wayback machine article works, but the code formatting is quite poor.

Usually archive.org link is better. In this case, I reviewed the archived link and it seems to be better. |

I’ve updated the broken link, it now links to a version of the page that is being hosted by an amateur archivist. (This was done after looking for a surviving link via web.archive).
Much later I found this link: https://web.archive.org/web/20071216020031/http://www.ddj.com/184407970?pgno=5 however I've kept the link to https://jacobfilipp.com/DrDobbs/ as it's more navigable than the web archive.
Since the journal doesn’t exist there are 4 options for the second link.
I went with 3.
Here’s a post by the archivist on the EOL of DDJ: https://jacobfilipp.com/thedoctor/
Another solution is removing the “See Also” block completely.
