That is great to hear. I am glad that the original creators of StackOverflow got their liquidity event and are well off financially I suspect.
- chiph 5mo agoThat would be Joel Spolsky (Fog Creek Software) and Jeff Atwood (Coding Horror), mostly. Jeff has gone on to make several large philanthropic gifts. Joel probably has too but I don't have info on them.
