What is Stack Overflow? Just imagine a better implementation of askville for programmers.
From the Stack Overflow blog:
If you’re wondering what’s so special about Stack Overflow, the answer is — well, nothing, really. It’s a programming Q&A website. The only unusual thing we do is synthesize aspects of Wikis, Blogs, Forums, and Digg/Reddit in a way that is somewhat original. Or at least we think so.
Interesting? perhaps. Useful? I think if it works out and the community takes root it will be. I happen to agree with Joel’s rant about the useless exercise for searching for programming answers on the web these days. It’s very difficult to find specific answers to technical questions using tools like google and such. hmmm… a “power tool vs hand tool” analogy is coming to mind here. ah never mind. Read Joels comments, that’s enough.
