I had a nightmare once about something like this. In the dream, I woke up, went to work, wanted to check something online, found out stackoverflow no longer existed.
Is it possible we might put too much trust into this one source? I know it is amazing. I know we love it. But something like this could help.
- tabtab 8y agoAn open-source and non-profit version of something like StackOverflow would be nice. Dependence on one commercial company is risky. The now-defunct C2 wiki had interesting discussions about software engineering, but couldn't really deal with specific products or languages. Such a tool(s) would probably need to be split or marked to distinguish between formal research, philosophical discussions (such as whether to optimize for programmer heads or machines), and specific languages and tools.
