When I joined Stack Overflow almost a year ago, I was blown away by how kind and generous all my coworkers were, and the engineering team is no exception.
The second thing we are prioritizing requires a bit of a story. Paying down this debt will continue to be a priority as we work to get our mods best-in-class tools to manage their communities. The thing I’ve seen our Community Managers push for the most is updating these dated tools, some of which haven’t been touched since we first launched! The team formerly known as DAG (Developer Advocacy and Growth), now part of the Community team, started by rolling out the Tag Synonyms Refresh and the improved Moderator Dashboard. To kick off these changes, we started with the tools that our moderators and power users rely on to make Stack Overflow the best site for developers online. We’ve been working on exciting things the past few months to make the site more welcome, diverse, and inclusive. Being a part of the team helping to guide the direction and growth of community is an incredible honor. I care a lot about representation in technology, and a future where people from underrepresented groups in technology are hired and succeed at the same rates as their peers. NET foundation helping the framework build the future of the internet. Since joining Stack Overflow’s engineering management team in 2018, I’m back in the world of. I love JavaScript with all my heart, warts and all. NET MVP for 20 before switching to JavaScript, Node.js, and building Nodebots in 2011.
I cut my teeth on MS SQL and Data Warehousing. The thing that really connected me to Stack Overflow and its community, however, is the simple fact that I’ve been a software developer for 18 years.
I’ve looked for new opportunities on our Jobs board and placed job ads when hiring great talent at companies I helped run, like Jewelbots or GDI. I’ve been an active member of Q&A, a participant on Area 51, and a lurker on Worldbuilding, Cooking, and Code Golf. Stack Overflow has been a big part of what I do for a long time. I was in the beta and one of the first people to ask a question on the platform. I’ve been at Stack for a year now, and I’d like to share with you one of my worst days at work, and what it taught me about the Stack Overflow community.Ī little about me: I’m Stack Overflow user #4140. I’m the new Director of Public Q&A at Stack Overflow. Hi, my name is Sara Chipps, first time Stack blogger, long time Stacker (I’ve always wanted to say that!).
