The difference in opinion here is: "How to you motivate developers to provide high quality answers/questions?" You could improve on Jobs on SO, no doubt about it. Getting rid of it altogether is a huge mistake. I know it was a way to monetize the core, but also it served a purpose to interconnect two seeking parties. Only the future will show, but I really do think this is beginning of the end. | |

It is difficult with 22,216,614 questions, a company that doesn't care about quality (the measured stuff is all about quantity), the ongoing Eternal September, and gamification that favors fast answers over comprehensible answers). Jobs was always a side show - a way to monetise the core. | |
