I wonder how many people wrote that SO blog. It also does not look like written by a man, starting with the use of a symbol for love.
People that politics and religion should stay out of the workplace, and likewise the same for activism of any form.

Indeed. Wikipedia, FreeBSD, now SO. I wonder why....

I do wonder how some questions are not deleted and others are. Are they special in any way, or people is just willing to work on them...? It is indeed terrible people in SO is willing to work for free for you if you are willing to spend some time writing a question to solve your own problem.

LOL

I bet you do not know what inclusive means.

The only people I seen constantly offended on SO is people who do not make an effort investment time on their questions to solve *their own problems*. Other problems in technial forums are pretty much invented.

Getting answers and consulting for free is really a bad vibe, oh my.
You can choose between getting pissed of, or getting advantage of being able to communicate with your peers, share ideas and grow with them while leaving the BS at the door. But it is your call.

As a user that joined almost two years ago, and has 35k in one group, and 50k overall, I beg to disagree. It it were as you described, nobody ever would be able to gain points.

If it is so easy to game for reputation, what does it prevents anyone doing it? Sounds more like excuses.

Might is the keyword. For a few months, I had in my bio I live in London. Then i decided to correct it.

You nowadays start having Forums in SO in another tongues. Being offended of having to write good quality English in an English forum does not make much sense.

You guess faster the nationality by the quality of English. Loads of English sounding names with Indian-quality English.

sarcasm on: You guess gender the same as you try to guess as what many questions really want to ask...with a crystal ball.

If there is effectively no moderation, then how will you search for answer in the middle of all the questions? If some questions are upvoted, and your not, have you considered for a while the problem may not be moderation?

Agile got nothing to do about planning, it is just lingo for micromanagement by clueless PHBs.
