But the BS around rep just sucks.That might be where the word "Overflow" comes from. 😛
So they named it stack overflow because it is really just Diarrhea?:Whistling:
The last time I checked out stack overflow, it was just that. Maybe it got better since then, but I don't use it for anything so I wouldn't know.
I like Stack Overflow, they've done a great job, I've lost count over the answers I've gotten there. I'm not saying they're perfect, but the amount of loathing they get from you guys is just not proportionate to any actual problems over there that I can see, so I'm wondering what the real deal is? Did they treat some of you in a manner that was determined to be below your expectations or something? Not fawn over the 5 digit SSC rep or something?
Glad you like SO.
I have seen roughly 50% of the answers to be wrong over there. You can't fix that unless you have asked a question. Why ask a question just to get rep? All that says is the rep is a game to play.
Rep is worthless. SSC points are worthless and I could really care less about that stuff because it doesn't translate to anything for anybody else.
But why take this to the personal attack level? I didn't see anybody attack you personally or directly. People reading the series of entries should be able to understand that it is good natured fun. If that is not obvious enough, then I apologize for the word assimilation.
Good grief, the ol "personal attack" meme again. Thats fine, have at it.
Well, if you don't like that meme, don't get personal. It's quite easy 😉
Your posts could be read as we're all a bunch of old grumpy SSC fanatics (mostly true for most people here :-P) who like to take a dump on the new shiny kid on the block, SO.
Well thats true, you guys could take it personally. After all, it IS your posts being held up for examination. For every post I replied to, they were at one time posted by someone, and maybe nothing but cheerleading was expected in return, and I can understand that. I'm certainly grasping for motivations for these posts also, so theres that. "Attack"? Well, although I don't think its necessarily a valid characterization, I don't think the characterizations of SO were worthy of posting on here either, so theres that.
Personally I don't think any of "us" is jealous over SO. SSC is a totally different site - a forum - while SO is a Q&A site with same "gamification". Here at SSC discussions are encouraged, advice is given and people can be mentored. At SO, well euhm, not 😀 But SO is great for straightforward questions and answers, where not too much debate is necessary.
I think that SO wants to be great for straightforward questions and answers, thats pretty much their mission.
