| Feb 5, 2022 at 10:35 | comment | added | Ellie Kesselman | Nah, don't blame MBAs @technogeek1995 An MBA who got any knowledge at all from his education would realize that it makes sense to keep Developer Story and SO Careers. That's because SO Jobs are a type of 'loss leader' (as I learned during my MBA program). Loss leaders might make little money for a business, or even lose money, but they are well worth the cost and staff resources. That's because the presence of a loss leader has beneficial synergistic effects on highly profitable parts of the company that wouldn't be possible otherwise. | |

There's a new platform I found a few weeks back which looks promising on the dev story and jobs front (its only for devs from what I can see not sure about Testers etc) thefullstack.network | |

| Jan 21, 2022 at 16:51 | comment | added | Makoto | ...you do know that happened a while ago, right? I legit can't tell if you're being facetious or just clueless on this front, since it was pretty big news at the time. | |
