The Go Collective on Stack Overflow
- cjpearson 5y agoSo Stack Overflow will be getting its own version of a blue checkmark? Seems to go against the meritocratic, earn-your-rep ethos of the site.
- AlexCoventry 5y agoAre they keeping the same copyright on collective answers? How are they going to make money from this? Charging organizations for the privilege of setting up a collective?
- iechoz6H 5y ago"Today Google Cloud is launching their own collective alongside the Go Collective. We are excited to take this step together: Go is the best language for building cloud infrastructure and applications, and Google Cloud is the best place to run Go applications. And now Stack Overflow is the best place to find answers to your Go and Cloud questions." Interesting decision to throw out impartiality right from the get go.
- geoduck14 5y agoI really like how SO is helping to advance good quality answers for GO. This looks like a good direction for them
- cy_hauser 5y ago> It will retain the great question and answer experience we’ve all come to appreciate from Stack Overflow. I deleted my SO account a few years back because I came to dread the "great q&a experience" so much that it was pointless. Trying to word a question so it wasn't closed immediately or getting the "what are you really trying to accomplish" was just too much to bother with. Best of luck though, I guess.
- SamWhited 5y ago"Collectives™ on Stack Overflow" can they trademark "Collectives"? That's just a generic and common governance structure (and one that, as far as I can tell, they don't follow). There must be existing "X Collective" sites that are Q&A sites or forums or similar?
