The people who make your apps go to Stack Overflow for answers – here's how it works
Decoder with Nilay Patel
How Does Stack Overflow Work Without Paying Contributors
Stack Overflow operates by relying on its community members, including contributors, users, and moderators. The company does not pay the moderators, who are nominated and voted members. Moderators volunteer because they see it as a public service and an opportunity to move the world forward. Expertise in specific areas is not a requirement for being a moderator. The community consists of experts in various fields, such as AI and cloud development, who help each other based on their own learning experiences. Stack Overflow believes in the power of the community to support and help developers, utilizing their fundamental urge to assist one another.
