It is ironic that many questions on Stack Overflow are about various cloud services, hyped-up technologies, and problems caused by over-engineering.

    I know you were joking but I am so glad stuff like that is not on SO. It would look like Quora which is the scourge of the internet.

      This! Quora is a great example of what SO would be if it wasn’t for their moderation. That being said, I think most would agree it might have gone too far and there may be value in trying to tweak it a bit to make it easier to contribute.

  I’m always puzzled when I’m using SO to help diagnose some obscure problem in my tech stack and I see a bunch of “hot questions” in the sidebar about whether dwarf armor can deflect magic bullets, or what the energy capacity of a Stormtrooper’s laser rifle is, etc.

    Not knocking any interest, just really curious that there is such a wide range of topics on there.

      Those are not Stack Overflow questions. Stack Overflow is strictly for programming questions. They are from other sites that are also part of Stack Exchange.
