Why you should know: StackOverflow is facing a mod strike in a similar way as Reddit’s mod strike. They are doing this in response to StackOverflow’s failure to address it’s promises and provide moderation tools

    I once handed in a citation from an answer to my Stack Overflow question.

    Something along the lines of… “After hitting a roadblock the community at Stack Overflow was consulted, as suggested in the lecture, and deemed the task not feasible [1].”

    The answer I put in the reference was one of the many variants of “Who in their right mind would do this in Matlab? Use Python instead.”

    I passed lol.
