Did you catch the current Stack Overflow CTO's strong distancing from Jeff here? twitter.com/df07/status/9845118682...

Goes to show how how difficult it is to change the culture of a community once it has been established. Kudos to you all for being purposeful about that from the beginning. πŸ‘πŸΎ

Yeah. I've met lots of the folks from Stack Overflow and they are awesome people and it seems like a wonderfully inclusive place to work. Sadly yes, they came at this problem with a certain perspective and built an entire ecosystem to reward it.

I got into listening to the classic Stack Overflow podcast episodes back when it was Jeff and Joel and it was really clear how differently we approached software development and thought about the the whole thing.

These are titans in our space, but flawed like the rest of us.
