There was a time when StackOverflow already had considerable size and it still felt as if Jeff knew and moderated every single post.
This is what made StackOverflow in my opinion. The excellent moderation in the beginning resulted in excellent quality.
Now, not taking away from the other early moderators, Jeff was definitely a huge part of it and one thing is for sure: He busted his ass off for this site and he deserves the reward.
- scotty79 2y agoI don't think anyone deserves 1.8bln reward. Norman Borlaug perhaps. But good for Jeff. I think SO was immensly societally and economically valuable and most people who actually got 1.8bln are less deserving than Jeff is.
- davidcalloway 2y agoI cannot help but think of Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven... "Deserve ain't got nothin' to do with it".
- belter 2y agoI would say Jon Skeet busted his ass off :-) https://stackoverflow.com/users/22656/jon-skeet https://stackoverflow.com/users/22656/jon-skeet
