Maybe he will tell some one to give stack overflow a dark mode!?!?
Lol
Hey!! I need that ๐ญ
Given that Stack Overflow has really been transitioning its core business model to enterprise software this kind of makes sense. In terms of how this affects the core community, it's not really the kind of hire that delivers much to chew on one way or another.
They just started another offering of stackoverflow for teams (similar to the enterprise one, but saas) as well. I think there's still quite a bit about SO for teams and regular SO that needs attention to give question-askers a positive experience, but some of that has to come from leadership.
Another Indian CEO , its feel good .
One More Indian CEO,feels good
