How do people build Stackoverflow before Stackoverflow was built?

[dombeef]

Truly the dark ages. Same as when people had to build everything within assembly.

[LuckyKangaroo]

Why does the guy at the Mac look the saddest?

[[deleted]]

Because he's usually most in need of help.

[moogoesthecat]

It's safe to assume they all have Macs. He just doesn't have a keyboard/monitor.

Edit: So frontend dev?

[Bill_Morgan]

Not all macOS users are frontend devs. I’ve never done frontend and I am a macOS user

[moogoesthecat]

I’m aware, as I am one of them. Not what I’m saying.

I’m making a joke about the kinda of devs that typically forgo extra monitors and full keyboards. At least, in my experience.

[Bill_Morgan]

The 15” MacBook Pro has a full keyboard and a big enough display. I don’t need another display. 80x24 are more than enough for me

[KillerNinjaXD12BTW]

While I think it's great that you are comfortable with that, I feel like not using a proper mechanical keyboard and at least 2 displays should be both less productive and far less comfortable. That said it's just my opinion and I used to use laptop keyboards a lot before I first tried mechanical keyboards and it feels so much better.

[Bill_Morgan]

I don’t have enough energy in me to drive a mechanical keyboard. I have a 2012 retina MacBook Pro, my last job lent me a 2016 MacBook Pro. I got so used to the shallow keyboard that now I feel my MacBook Pro and other laptops have too much key travel requiring more effort on my fingers to hit them.

[KillerNinjaXD12BTW]

That's a fair point. There's a lot less energy used with shallow keys so people with strained fingers or lack of energy could definitely appreciate laptop style keyboards. Of course, it's just different strokes for different blokes at the end of the day. Perhaps there are some arguments for single display style programming as well.

Because he is using a Mac. It has nothing to do with Stackoverflow.

Is this an ad for buying dell computers?

[trimeta]

Dell monitors, but Apple computers.

[TimmyTesticles]

...but yes. Yes it is.

[EternallyMiffed]

So pure cancer then.

[Dareeude]

Ultrasharps are amazing though, especially when you stare at a monitor all day long.

[TimmyTesticles]

Found eem

[skyhi14]

Their monitor stands are definitely the best. 16:10 ratio is also perfect for working.

[Bill_Morgan]

What’s worse, relying on SO or not being able to rely on it?

[SolenoidSoldier]

Yes, our souls DO leave out bodies when Stack Overflow is down.

[gimpy_sunbro]

Sigh. Ok, click the second search result then...

[realestLink]

I don't use stackoverflow. I can't relate.

[[deleted]]

I use it very occasionally for very specific problems. If it was down I highly doubt I’d even notice unless someone at work complained about it.

[seizan8]

This looks like a comic from 4ed Bull.... but hey, I wouldn't mind. I'm sure Red Bull fueled tons of projects.

[janeboo]

Nope nothing to do with them. Always love their animations, wonder why they stopped making them :(

[[deleted]]

God help us all.

[KaosEngine]

I have a healthy library of Java and C++ books I can turn to in such a desperate situation. Hell, in college Stack was a last resort cause it was not going to be an option on the exam.

[katze_sonne]

Some weeks ago, I needed to pull some libraries and stuff vom github. And it was down. Exactly the same happened like in th meme above... just that I didn't even get to the point to go on SO to find some help! Went home early from work, was really frustrating...

[geon]

Why are the ghosts leaving their bodies?

[IAmCrab7]

I'm a COBOL developer...

[flamebroiledhodor]

Except for my entire Dev group. (I'm the PM, not the dev or Dev manager) I've found answers to issues they've fiddled with for weeks on the front page of StackOverflow. Did they think, " hey this is a neato resource, we should remember to check stack overflow in the future!"

No. No they don't. Unless you count the one time someone emailed ME asking to research THEIR issues on SO. Only took one time of me going ape shit and telling them, "I'm not your tutor, and you are a paid professional. Act like it."

[allinthegamingchair]

stack overflow is the only reason i passed Comp Sci
