> The key to Stack Overflow’s future and growth are the millions of developers from around the world who find the site useful, but who haven’t yet been welcomed into the community. We need to expand our reach and engagement to ensure these developers join the conversation and push their own learning to new heights.
The key to stack overflow's future is providing useful answers to various programming questions, facilitating the asking and answering of these questions, and providing an easy way to find the answers to your questions.
- Mountain_Skies 7y agoYour comment might be a duplicate of one made two months ago in a post about photographing cabbages in Sri Lanka.
- Zamicol 7y agoDoesn't that just drive you nuts? Cabbages just sneak up on you like that. I've had plenty of genuinely unique questions marked as "duplicate".
- dx87 7y agoMost annoying to me is when I find someone asking a question that's exactly what I'm looking for, but it's locked and says "This question is too specific and is unlikely to be useful to anyone else." Last time that happened was with gdb, and looking through the code wasn't helpful because all it said was "unless you're a gdb developer, these header files are unlikely to be useful".
- klez 7y agoFWIW that reason for closing has been removed for a long while, so new questions asking those lines should get answers (if the question itself is answerable).
