I'm genuinely curious what the value of stackshare is. Is it a form of "infotainment"?
It seems to me that if you work as a developer professionally, you'll have a good sense of what tools and stacks are out there based both on colleagues/work and the larger developer community you likely interact with. How does it help me to see that some well-known software is popular? It seems like just encourages more trend-following in programming.
I suppose I could see the benefit when it comes to SaaS products...this site gives a way to see all the options out there for things you might want to outsource.
Am I missing something? Do people find this site to be valuable?
- ohstopitu 10y agoI personally use it to keep up with new tools that companies might use or are becoming popular (always good to have an eye to know what's up). I don't use it when I want to start a project and I'm looking for tools. This is a keep at the back of your head kinda thing.
