Why not hackernoon or any other blogging platform, then? Stackoverflow is gatekept, not super friendly, and you can only share things in response to people's questions.
- devenblake 6y agoI believe StackOverflow is just listed as an example of decent site design, it's well-known to be a ludicrously terrible resource considering its popularity.
- gls2ro 6y agoYes, I just listed StackOverflow there as an example for two reasons: 1. It is public (you don't need a subscription) 2. It has a license for using the code there (https://stackoverflow.com/help/licensing https://stackoverflow.com/help/licensing) I am not affiliated in anyway with StackOverflow and actually I created a new account because of some things I disagree with.

- ratww 6y ago> and you can only share things in response to people's questions It is ok to ask and answer your own question.
- qiqitori 6y agoYou can even write an answer for your question at the same time you're writing the answer (you may need 15+ reputation though).
- daveed 6y agoThat's true. Though, I'll also say that my experience and expectation from medium articles and SO are different too. Medium lends itself to more end-to-end stories (here are the steps, combining these 3 libraries, to accomplish this task), whereas SO feels like it's more focused (Why does this part of my toolchain break?). The upvote/downvote mechanism also doesn't really lend itself to tutorials. I feel like if you wanted tutorials on SO, you'd want to branch SO itself into a different entity.
