@ljrk @mhoye For what it's worth, one of the SO leads told me quality is getting killed by people machine gunning answers there for resume building purposes.

@veirling @mhoye Very much true! And then there's also a lot of people who just post "I pasted these three lines and now it works" answers :'D

@ljrk @mhoye Yuppers, seen it. Gotta say, still get some great quick answers on SO that are not available in project docs. Also, I learn quite a bit from reading Github issues. "Huh, this seems broken", and it is broken!

@veirling @ljrk @That’s their own fault, though, and it’s not new. It wasn’t long after launch that people started talking up using your SO metrics for hiring, and SO having metrics was a big part of that.
