Stack Overflow
Stack Overflow is a question-and-answer site for self-proclaimed expert and enthusiast programmers. It features abandoned questions, 'reputation' (imaginary Internet points) that people never earn, and many perks for being a member.
Q/A[edit | edit source]
Everyone's welcome to ask a question, but with the following constraints:
- If a user asks more than 9 questions, they will be blocked.
- If a user asks more than 1 question every six months, they will be blocked.
There are also high quality answers:

Jobs[edit | edit source]
Stack Overflow also offers careers at their company and many others. The jobs they post on their site are excellent at ranking, having high pay, good benefits, but the programming language you tried to learn but couldn't. Many jobs are piles of Formatting Demos, with bold, italic, and both combined for no reason.
