"You like us…you really like us!"
The problem with this statement is that the survey is based only on SO users. Non-users cannot comment whether or not they like the service.
Sincerely,
A StackOverflow non-user
- EvanKelly 14y agoDo you make a concious decision to not use StackOverflow for a particular reason or is it simply not a tool you need?
- donretag 14y agoStackOverflow is simply a tool that I do not need. It is not a community site, it is a Q&A site. Too formal. I find it far better to ask a question on a specific mailing list and not on SO. It causes fragmentation and I prefer to have one canonical source of information. Rails question? Ask the mailing list. A community site for developers would be welcome. Another big problem that I have with SO is moderation. I do not want anyone editing what I have wrote. It would be fine with the occasional editing of egregious errors, but SO moderation is out of control (IMHO).
- insteadof 14y agoSomeone editing your post and moderation are two separate things. What aspect of the moderation is gone wild? Noting a difference between those with diamonds (moderators) next to their names and those with a high board score (high rep users).
