Stack Overflow is declining, except it's still so well populated with moderators that the author of the article struggled to be able to answer a question quickly enough for it to matter, and he can find no alternatives to it that work as well.
I dont know anything about the internal politics of SO, and I dont think Ive ever asked (or answered) a question, but I use it every day.
It is absolutely the single best resource for developers on the internet, and thats amazing.
- asdfadfadsf 7y agoYeah the guy has the mental consistency of pudding: "The consequence thereof is that a lot of good questions not only get closed before anyone is able to respond, but that many of them end up vanishing into oblivion for eternity after merely 9 days." This, merely a few paragraphs after claiming all questions are answered so quickly he has no opportunity to participate.
- DuskStar 7y agoThere's a dichotomy between "questions difficult enough that I need to ask them" and "questions simple enough I can answer them myself", though.
