Farewell Stack Exchange

I bet this has been said but… Did you know you’ve made it damn near impossible to search out a real “Stack Overflow Error”. Try it and see.

Hope you keep up the blog, even if only occasionally.
I got to be a stay-at-home dad for two tiring/wondrous/frustrating/joyous years.
For me, striking a work-family balance has always been difficult, but even having the chance for stay-at-home is rare for most.
I wish you luck and look forward to more blog discussions here on codinghorror.

I was able to find and build a team of great developers because you.
Thank you.

There are probably more comments on this post than you can possibly read. I wish you the best. Your blog and words of wisdom is relevant as much as StackExchange. I hope you keep up the quality blogging!

Much thanks on your awesome contributions to the lives of developers everywhere.

“I’ll be damned if we didn’t change our little corner of the Internet for the better”.

Absolutely!!!

All of my developer friends don’t “google” coding questions anymore, they “stackoverflow” them.

Thanks again for everything you’ve given the community.

Say hi to your family for me :slight_smile:

Well done Jeff!

None of us can tell what the future holds but I believe that it’s important to follow your heart. Part of growing up (for me at least) has been discovering what I’m willing to do and what I’m not. I might not end up the richest person in the world, but I’m not willing to sacrifice my family at the alter of Entrepreneurism. It might feel difficult to walk away from a gem like StackExchange, but keep in mind that you’re taking the real gem with you: your life experiences. No one can take that away from you. When you’re ready to start your next adventure, life will provide.

Thanks a lot for Stackoverflow. It’s made a big difference in my life as well. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

You reinvented the Q&A format. That is quite an achievement. It must be tough to walk away from something like that, but I’m sure you will look back on it as the right decision. Best wishes for your next venture.

You’re awesome! That’s all I can say.

Speaking as a Mom and Wife - I applaud your decision to embrace all of life, not just the passion that comes with work you love. :wink:

I am surprised nobody has pointed out what twaddle this is? He had a complex financial investment from a bunch of investors and got shunted out because he didn’t maintain majority control of his company, simples. Everything else is PR likely to be tied into a financial agreement to protect the brand image.


Either way, you did a cracking job with the sites Jeff, don’t let this get you down.

Thank you for your work on StackOverflow, and thank you for the great example you are to all developers. You made the right choice, and it’s awesome that you have your priorities straight. Your family is very blessed.

If only you could ban all the elitest pricks who nag people on irrelevant or esoteric facets instead of answering questions.

Thanks Jeff… Wish you all the best

Getting loans from conventional lenders is tougher than ever before. Due to the current state of the economy, credit

markets are tightening, making it much harder to find lenders to turn to when you’re in need of emergency cash.

I read maybe 10 of your blog posts and found them interesting before I realized you were the creator of StackOverflow. I found that interesting. I keep finding new StackExchanges that fit my needs. Oh how you were right about forums being horrible places for information. I used them and even ran some in high school for years, but for the past few years any time I wanted detailed information and forum results came up on Google I groaned. Thank you for StackExchange. I started with StackOverflow, then connected to Gaming, now just signed up for Unix and perused the list of other sites in the network. Some of them are just begging for me to join. Social network for the antisocial indeed.

Love your blog too, by the way. I’m a novice programmer and I have changed my mentality from “Oh crap look at all these geniuses better at this than me” to “Always get better” partially through perusing blogs such as yours. They’re great resources from a philosophical and practical standpoint.

Bravo! And good luck ahead.

Thanks for your work on StackOverflow, et al. You won’t regret this move though. Taking care of your family is so much more important than taking care of this mass of programmers.
