Stack Overflow is\u00a0a programming Q & A site that\u2019s free<\/strong>. Free to ask questions, free to answer questions, free to read, free to index, built with plain old HTML, no fake rot13 text on the home page, no scammy google-cloaking tactics, no salespeople, no JavaScript windows dropping down in front of the answer asking for $12.95 to go away. You can register if you want to collect karma and win valuable flair that will appear next to your name, but otherwise, it\u2019s just free. And fast. Very, very fast.<\/p>\n We don\u2019t run Stack Overflow.\u00a0You<\/em>\u00a0do. Stack Overflow is\u00a0collaboratively built and maintained by your fellow programmers<\/strong>. Once the system learns to trust you, you\u2019ll be able to edit anything, much like\u00a0Wikipedia. With your help, we can build good answers to every imaginable programming question together. No matter what programming language you use, or what operating system you call home \u2013 better programming is our goal.<\/p>\n Stack Overflow is as frictionless and painless to use as we could make it. We believe finding the right answer to your programming questions should be as easy as falling into the pit of success \u2026 and maybe even a little fun along the way.<\/p>\n What\u2019s so special about this? Well, nothing, really. But we synthesize aspects of Wikis, Blogs, Forums, and Digg\/Reddit in a way that we think is original.<\/p>\n Stack Overflow is that tiny asterisk in the middle.<\/p>\n But hopefully you\u2019ll see what we mean when you participate and experience it for yourself.<\/p>\n Mostly, we\u2019re software engineers who love building great software \u2013 just like you<\/p>\nSo What? Who cares? Isn’t this just like a dozen other websites?<\/h2>\n
Who Are You?<\/h2>\n
