Truth, I was at SO in Manhattan for a JS meetup a couple times and all the desktop computers were PCs with Dell monitors.Not a single Mac in sight. Have a feeling they weren't running linux either since Stack Overflow is .NET I believe.
- madeofpalk 7y agoI remember many many years ago listening to the Stack Overflow podcast which was Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky talking, in real time, about them creating Stack Overflow. IIRC it uses ASP.Net MVC or something like that, and might have been the first and/or biggest site using it?
- wikibob 7y agoLots of details on StackOverflow’s architecture here: https://nickcraver.com/blog/2016/02/17/stack-overflow-the-architecture-2016-edition/ https://nickcraver.com/blog/2016/02/17/stack-overflow-the-ar...
- tluyben2 7y ago> running linux either since Stack Overflow is .NET I believe It is a matter of taste and I'm sure these guys (Atwood/Spolsky) love Windows to work on, but with .NET Core (we started porting when the first stable ASP.NET Core came out), we ported/migrated everything from Windows/MS (SQL server, Windows Server, AD, etc) to Linux + MySQL/Postgresql on ASP.NET Core. I guess it's what you are used to, but everything is faster, smoother, more stable/consistent and easier to manage now. I would never go back.
