- vote Most people know about Stack Overflow if you are a developer but how many know about Stack Overflow for Teams? I believe the biggest challenge is the lack of awareness that they have products.

Not that I was using it to post questions or search for answers, but it was definitely useful for notifications when someone would answer my question.

- link Highest paying tech job is "dev ops specialist" Downloaded the 2018 Stack Overflow tech salaries report.

Whenever i have to create code to make a HTTP Call (GET/POST), I always have to look at stack overflow, or rely on some resource to create the Params/Headers/Body etc, and then make the actual Service Call. I don't remember all of it by heart. YOE 4 LOL

For example Google hired Guido Van Rossum (creator of python) and Jon Skeet (number #1 stack overflow contributor, .net God, owner of the best last name imaginable). Do these people go through the “normal” interview process where a pimply face 28 year old tries to get them to find the longest palin
- No fulfilment in my job I’ve been working on frontend for last 8 years. I think I am average. Apart from frontend I don’t even understand basics of computer science.

Furiously writing down a 5 line recursive solution in 2 mins is a near certain invitation to rewrite it iteratively(" that's great, but what's the risk of recursion? Oh so you know about stack space overflow, well can you try it without recursion?"). And it's not always trivial to convert it on the

If one works as SWE in such companies, then would it be a problem when switching to FAANG or similar companies? Do they have policies against hiring SWE from what are often co
- Why are multi threading/concurrency questions not asked in senior level position interviews? Asking for Backend Engineer. At least in my team, we deal with it on a daily basis, sometimes more often than advanced data structures. I don’t think it would be any different for any giant shop. I would definitely include that in the interview criteria, but most, if not all, don’t. Why? Same goes
