| Oct 26, 2017 at 20:45 | comment | added | cowbert | It would be interesting to know which companies are SO users applying to that are still preferring the 40+ year old paper-compatible CVs and why. I mean I realize not everybody can or wants to work at Facebook/Google/Amazon/Yelp/etc. but all of my clients since 2013 were just literally people cold calling me after seeing my linkedin....(maybe things work differently in the freelance/consulting world, but do they really?) | |
| Jul 10, 2017 at 13:30 | comment | added | David | @bluefeet as pointed out by another user. Plenty of Users may find it useful for your Cellphone to be 6 foot tall and have a freezer section... doesnt mean its still a cellphone. A freezer doesnt belong in a Cellphone reguardless of wether people find it beneficial or useful. SO is a Q&A for programmers they need to stop trying to make it a Social Networking Job Board | |
| Jul 10, 2017 at 13:13 | comment | added | Taryn | @David There are plenty of users who use those features and find them beneficial. They serve a purpose in that they help developers find a job that they love; you aren't forced to use them and you can simply ignore it. | |
| Jul 10, 2017 at 12:26 | comment | added | David | So reputation has a purpose and mostly thats to make spam, Graffiti and Defacing less likely and moderation easier. Job postings, CV's, Developer Story...Have no place on SO. Feature should be locked since it's not appropriate for SO since its not focused on Programming. | |

| Jan 8, 2017 at 0:54 | comment | added | Syed Ali | I thought its something new and the existing "Traditional View", which I used and liked a lot, will remain the same. However, you have mixed the two and removed useful features from the "Traditional View" which is not what I expected. The developer store is more like an online profile which you can't and shouldn't print and send out to employers. Employers need 2 page CVs which is what the traditional view provided. Pls bring it back. Thanks | |
| Dec 5, 2016 at 2:17 | comment | added | Ungeheuer | Feels like someone at SO needs to review OOP design principles, specifically the whole "do one thing" part of it. SO should do 1 thing, and do it well. That thing is dealing in computer science knowledge, not marketing resumes and backstories. | |

| Jan 8, 2016 at 19:24 | comment | added | Taryn | @canon My blue feet are just fine, thank you for asking. But seriously, the feedback on this is incredibly helpful to how we are going to move forward. We brought this to the community to get thoughts and feedback, good or bad. | |
| Jan 8, 2016 at 19:19 | comment | added | canon | @bluefeet I'm curious how you're taking this reaction from the meta community. | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 17:26 | comment | added | user1131435 | @bluefeet I'm concerned about the impact on overall SE health. If these feature changes alienate top users, then they affect everyone, even if I never touch Careers. Features don't live in bubbles. | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 17:24 | comment | added | Taryn | @Emrakul We already have CVs as a part of Jobs, this is just a revamp of that feature. If you don't use SO to find jobs, then you don't have to use this feature. | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 17:23 | comment | added | user1131435 | You have a great product. Please don't alienate your user base by tacking on unwanted features - particularly while removing wanted ones. | |
| Jan 7, 2016 at 1:15 | comment | added | Martijn Pieters | @NickCraver the post implies Dev Stories are to replace CVs: It replaces the existing, traditionally-structured CV | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 23:59 | comment | added | Nick Craver | @MartijnPieters I'm not sure what's old/new here (I'm catching up), but the vanity URLs aren't going anywhere. I added that route myself and it works today. For example: stackoverflow.com/cv/ncraver | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 11:25 | comment | added | Martijn Pieters | I for one, loved the ole CV feature. It allowed me to create a CV with a URL to send to people as needed. It fit the traditional we need a CV from you, preferably one we can print niche perfectly. I doubt they want to see a developer story sent to them. Don't get rid of the CV, please. | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 7:37 | comment | added | Cerbrus | @enderland: At least SO gives us the option to opt-out indefinitely (/ not opt in). I'm looking at you, Facebook "Top stories"! | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 23:36 | comment | added | Just Do It | Why make a q&a site look more and more like a social network? | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 19:01 | comment | added | Shog9 | That's the idea, @ShadowWizard. The hope is that we can make something that fulfills the conceptual requirements for a CV without being... Y'know, a horrible pile of facts and dates that you keep around out of necessity but are pretty sure no one ever reads in full and which you tend to assume are clumsy fictions when receiving them from others. Something more like a portfolio, a showcase, not a relic. If that works out, it'll be something that a lot of folks will find interesting... Although that may not actually include employers! | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 18:42 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Hynes wait, the Developer Story can be "standalone", i.e. for any user, regardless of Careers? | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 18:03 | comment | added | Hynes | @ShadowWizard Understandable. Not liking the idea of a Developer Story doesn't negate the value of Careers IMO. The Developer Story might be a poor idea for Careers. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 17:55 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Hynes of course they want jobs. But that Developer Story is not a CV. It does not look like a CV. And without CV, I see little point in Careers. Might be just me, might be just over panic over a major change, but that is how I feel at the moment | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 17:42 | comment | added | Pekka | (cont'd) It allows for the addition of major and minor achievements in an unordered way that would look weird on paper. It gives a visual chronological overview that's much more fun to parse, and each step can be extended infinitely (e.g. by adding links and pictures for each step). The importance of each step can be controlled by the amount of text, pictures, and links we give them. Etc. etc. And if we are above Facebook, why should we care whether a feature here resembles something that was created there? | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 17:38 | comment | added | Pekka | I have reservations about the strategy behind the recent changes (see my answer below) but I disagree that the team needs to build a giant case to justify every feature they create (even though it would be nice to be able to see the internal thought processes that led to it). This new view conveys a developer's professional life much better than a traditional CV. In fact, it seems like an appropriate, somewhat visionary reinvention of the CV for digital media. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:52 | comment | added | enderland | .. seeing shiny new features without any reasoning why they are needed is probably why this feature is so heavily downvoted. No one sees a need for it, and to top it off, it looks like Facebook. You have to build a case for why something is needed when trying to persuade others. This doesn't build a case at all, the "why its needed" is a list of features. Features aren't a compelling reason, generally. It's not going to be effective to drop changes on people without any explanation of why you are doing it (especially when the Facebook-like-ness factor exists). | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:51 | comment | added | enderland | @Hynes you are approaching from a perspective of, "I get the problem we're addressing and why this is valuable." The post is approaching it as, "look we have a new shiny object to share!" -- a classic problem trying to persuade others. The need is present to you, the creators, who presumably have had discussions about this internally. But the people you are trying to convince need to first be informed/convinced of the problem/reasons this suggestion exists. This is a common problem with persuading others - we act as if the motivations behind a suggestion are given information - but it isn't. | |

| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:46 | comment | added | Hynes | @ShadowWizard How is this a "death blow" to Careers? People don't want jobs? | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:44 | comment | added | TylerH | I don't think anyone actually wants this. I know that's not a very constructive thing to say, but this isn't a very constructive feature for Stack Overflow. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:37 | comment | added | JonH | @bluefeet - Great, I'm a willing candidate to test if you guys like. To me this is a much needed feature. I see it as something very clean and positive. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:36 | comment | added | JonH | @enderland - You don't show them your developer story, you export your CV which to me sounds like they are still keeping the format of the CV. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:36 | comment | added | Taryn | @JonH We're still developing it and hope to have something for beta soonish. The point of this was to allow the community to see it, get feedback. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:36 | comment | added | enderland | @JonH most companies will expect a more standard CV, not something like this. This makes it considerably more difficult to skim and get a feeling about a person quickly than a CV since it moves information randomly, puts it into multiple columns, etc. I would not want to submit this to any non "super hip" company as a CV/resume.. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:34 | comment | added | JonH | @bluefeet - If that is the case then I see absolutely no issue with this whatsoever. I am not sure everyone understands this, at least from the comments and answers no..no they don't understand it. If at the end of the day this exports to a CV, which is what 99.9% of all companies expect, then proceed. This is nice, and I'd like to opt-into this thing. How do I gain access to this? | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:32 | comment | added | Taryn | @JonH The export feature will still be available and employers will still have the ability to view your CV as a sorted (traditional resume) view. Those features will still be available, this is just an alternate view for you as the developer. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:31 | comment | added | JonH | My question is most companies still want your CV. Will this export out to a nice CV format? | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 16:30 | comment | added | AStopher | If I wanted a blog, I'd get a blog. If I wanted to ask/answer questions, I'd go on Stack Overflow. | |

Here's a better tl;dr: Our current CVs really aren't that great. Careers did a decent job, but still won't replace [monster/linked-in/etc]. To help avoid wasting everyone's time with yet another resume, we are going to replace the CV with something which should be more useful, a developer story. This will allow you to easily include your SE contributions into your CV/story and hopefully create an easier, more relevant resume, based on SE. It conveys 1) what is happening, 2) why its happening, and 3) how its happening.

| Jan 5, 2016 at 15:28 | comment | added | ssube | SE's value is providing useful information, with Magical Internet Points to encourage people. If we wanted a place about the people instead of the information, we'd go to Facebook/LinkedIn. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 15:20 | comment | added | Trevi Awater | It definitely has some flaws but why criticize it now? If it turns out to be a flop we can always remove it later. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 15:00 | comment | added | Deer Hunter | @Laura - to sell Careers, you have to have a willing user base. Most of the responses here are confused by your decision to replace CVs with Developer Stories. It's your business, and your decisions, even if you want to strangle your revenue source... | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 14:53 | comment | added | Laura | @DeerHunter We aren't trying to emulate LinkedIn and Facebook; we've had the Careers product living off in a siloed universe for years at this point, and we no longer think that's a good idea. We want to incorporate our products into a single unified platform, but also make some changes so that features are more broadly appealing outside of very narrow use cases (like looking for a job). Yes, our investors expect a return on their investment eventually, but nothing of substance is changing in that regard: display ads + selling Careers products to companies has always been how we make money | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 12:57 | comment | added | Deer Hunter | I can understand where this feature flow comes from. Stack Exchange has attracted new investors who want to monetize Stack Overflow user base and question base. Some of those investors may be not exactly bright, and hence they want SE to emulate LinkedIn and Facebook and whatnot. They have no original ideas, but they want their money (and more) back. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 12:52 | comment | added | Toby | "Do one thing and do it well" - IMHO this is why G+ fails, and also why I feel this jobs/careers/timeline/whatevs mish-mash needs a more cohesive strategy before it's useful. | |

| Jan 5, 2016 at 11:41 | comment | added | Kyll | The FAQ bullet point about solved problems doesn't actually list any problem to solve. ""It gives you a way to showcase your skills, and maybe one day find a job" isn't a problem statement. "Showcasing your skills on StackOverflow is difficult" is a problem statement (even if this problem doesn't really exist). | |

It is simple, easy to read, and easy to follow, and pretty. I wish employers took my CV directly from careers.so instead of asking for linkedin (which is what you seem to be trying to turn careers into) or some other social network like website. Please please please don't do this. For the love of all the super awesome work you guys have done till now. | |

| Jan 5, 2016 at 7:24 | comment | added | Dean | There's already a website which does this stuff.. it's called linkedIn | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 6:08 | comment | added | blessanm86 | +1 as this seems to make cv reading more interesting. This may be helpful for hr/dev people looking to hire. I dont really see this affecting the QA system in any way. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 6:07 | comment | added | Alexis King | I can’t say I care all that much for this feature, but the general reaction seems rather over the top. Careers/Jobs has been around for a while now; it isn’t new. The way recent changes have been announced seems likely to provoke contempt. The memes were cute when we wanted to nuke the close vote queue because they felt relevant and reinforced the community effort. Widely heralding the brilliance of every feature (profile page included) is just obnoxious. Still, it’s hard for me to care all that much. I don’t use Jobs; what’s the big deal? Worried how the money you didn’t pay is being spent? | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 5:28 | comment | added | Aseem Bansal | "except indirectly through companies you have worked together at" - Please elaborate | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 0:52 | comment | added | Shog9 | As a more serious answer, @Jason... This is part of the initiative Tim laid out in this post, the gist of which is: take side projects we've tried in the past that've sorta worked and give them the proper SO treatment. Part of that is Careers integration, which is already in place (Jobs) but in a really, really hacky manner; the next step is to take the pieces and replace the blind Careers copies with stuff that's more generally-useful and less... weird and out of place. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 0:47 | comment | added | Jason C | @Shog9 Well then I might indirectly +1 this. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 0:32 | comment | added | Shog9 | We already have a revenue stream, @JasonC. This might help indirectly, but only insofar as it helps folks create better CVs. Also, first we have to finish shaving this yak. | |
| Jan 5, 2016 at 0:21 | comment | added | Jason C | @bluefeet In chat, it was mentioned that the real purpose of this is to create some sort of revenue stream for SE (which: cool). Is this true and, if it is, then why is it not mentioned in this post? | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 23:59 | comment | added | Jason C | Is SE finally entering the we-have-nothing-left-to-do-so-lets-make-stuff-up-to-keep-our-jobs phase? Netscape, Norton's, Devshed, Winamp, it happens to the best of them. | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 23:24 | comment | added | Deer Hunter | * The design for the fancy 'Story' is non-linear and interactive. Please name two HR departments that like non-linear CVs. * Abuse of personal pronoun 'I' makes a potential employer think twice. 'I ate tacos this morning'. 'I am reading How to make salad with jQuery?' If it looks unprofessional, it is unprofessional. * What's that 'public artefact' thing? Is it something tangible (like 'public artefacts' I collect after my dog) or intangible? Is it a book I wrote or a concert I took part in? | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 23:19 | comment | added | Bill Woodger | Off-topic, but it took me far too long to realise those were buttons in that final image. | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 23:08 | comment | added | Deer Hunter | It looks like StackExchange has got no CCB (Configuration Control Board) and no vision. Change for the sake of change, mission creep, and faux pas after faux pas? No problem! Folks, you haven't extricated yourself from the licensing tar pit yet! What's seriously missing is some mechanism to conduct limited opinion surveys before committing your shiny new plan to meta SO/meta SE. | |

| Jan 4, 2016 at 22:28 | comment | added | Linuxios | Each time the community says "isn't this a social network?" you say "NO!", but the features keep marching in. Teams, now this. Just saying no doesn't make it so. | |

Click Here to see how awesome I am on SO, but I also administer servers so here's a glimpse of my BOFHness on ServerFault but I also do wicked things with databases, check out that version of me on DBA.SE. Please, completely disregard my bio though on Project Management - I was going through an experimental phase. | |

| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:24 | comment | added | Stéphane | @Ajedi32 We'll add more features later in the developer story. But right now the main difference is that you can use it without looking for a job so it does mean Stack Overflow gives you the opportunity to have a great profile online that shows what you've done / who you are as a developer, which wasn't the case with the current profile. For future releases we want to add more things to this story, real things that developers need and this is why we're making this post, to see if something is missing :) | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:23 | comment | added | Taryn | @hichris123 The profile is great for a high-level overview of you but the Developer Story goes a bit further allowing you to give more details about your career which doesn't fit into the existing profile. | |

| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:20 | comment | added | Ajedi32 | @bluefeet What specific things is the existing CV feature missing (besides the new look of course) that Developer Stories adds? All of the categories in the screenshot (Apps, Education, Positions, Answers, Blog Posts, Certifications, Open Source Projects, Books Read, etc) already exist in the CV feature. The layout is just a bit different. | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:19 | comment | added | Taryn | @TinyGiant Yes, options to keep your story hidden will be available. | |

| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:19 | comment | added | user4639281 | So... if this is only really for Jobs, can we have an option to hide it? | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:16 | comment | added | Taryn | @Ajedi32 Yes. We know that developers like to share specific things that the existing resume is missing. This is a new way to display what you as a developer want to showoff. | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:15 | comment | added | apaul | "6-8 somethings" Somehow sounds much more vague than the usual 6-8 weeks... Getting more realistic with deadlines? | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:15 | comment | added | Ajedi32 | So basically this is just a redesign of the current CV feature on Jobs? | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:13 | comment | added | Undo Mod | How will this be moderated? What happens if I add nasty content to my developer story? Will we be treating these like about-me text, or like text in a post? | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:12 | comment | added | Taryn | @BhargavRao There will be preset fields for you to fill in similar to what there is in the existing Careers CV. I don't believe we would initially have your own subtitles. | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:10 | comment | added | Bhargav Rao | @bluefeet Can we have our own Subtitles there ... i.e. .. "education","certification" and so on are present, Can we add our own? | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:07 | comment | added | Taryn | @BhargavRao What do you mean "custom stories"? | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:06 | comment | added | BoltClock | @bluefeet: So does it pull information from both my CV and my Q&A profile automatically? | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:06 | comment | added | user3717023 | Wouldn't it be easier to sell the site to LinkedIn, instead of morphing into it step by step? | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:05 | comment | added | Taryn | @BoltClock As I mentioned, this is going to be an upgrade to the Careers CV. You will not be entering information in 2 places. | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:04 | comment | added | BoltClock | @hichris123: Yeah, I thought this looked remarkably familiar, too, as if it was inspired by a certain social networking site... | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:04 | comment | added | hichris123 | Uhm... wasn't this the whole idea of the new profile page? And I thought Stack Overflow was not a social network... | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:03 | comment | added | BoltClock | I'm drawing a lot of parallels between this and my Stack Overflow CV. I don't want to have to enter the same information in two different places... | |
| Jan 4, 2016 at 18:01 | comment | added | Bhargav Rao | Can we adding custom "stories" in the timeline? | |
