I here that a lot this day and I happy I got a place to share what I feel.
stackoverflow made me the who I am now.
I have a custom filter and I go through it every day like a twitter feed.
I try to answer questions. but even if i dont know the answer- i still pick up some new terms to google over the night.

newcomers should go through the CoC. If they dont- well, they get reminded. sometimes in less sugary way that they expected. but thats because, by neglecting their responsibility to read the coc and ask a proper question, they are waisting the precious time of thousands of people who go through their SO feed, just like me.

I am a woman, but I never felt inconvenience at SO, and thats actually because of the rules you are so against of. they help to keep the conversation practical.

I learn something new every time I visit stackoverflow, I love it, and I wish it would stay exactly like it is now.
