I always was impressed at the quality of SO jobs. Every interview and offer I had through SO jobs was a great experience. Developer story was kinda lame generally speaking. It had potential but I don't think anybody read them nor cared to over a resume. What I never understood about SO is that there are so many ways to help companies & contributors connect. Why stop at job boards? What if you're a company that really needs a certain type of developer and you wanted to send a targeted email/notification/etc to those in the top 5% answering those questions? I know from being in the top 3% myself I'd love to opt-in to this feature. Or perhaps a referral system in which somebody might come across your profile via an answer, comment, etc and would have an option to say "Ask if interested in work?". Again, would love to peruse offers. What about a bounty system that allows companies to sponsor / put real money on questions instead of imaginary internet points? Bounties always were so unrewarding. I'd answer a question for $25-50 instead of 50/500 internet points if it didn't take too long. Stack Overflow has somewhat failed the contributors just like other big platforms like YouTube/TikTok/etc have in the past. If 90% of people consume content on the site, 9% contribute, and 1% create, why is there not even consideration for incentivizing those in the 10%? Job boards was a start, but sadly now it is an end.
