REST APIs are one of the most common kinds of web interfaces available today. They allow various clients including browser apps to communicate with services via the REST API. Therefore, it's very important to design REST APIs properly so that we won't run into problems down the road. We have to take into account security, performance, and ease of use for API consumers. Otherwise, we create problem

Rust has been Stack Overflow's most loved language for four years in a row, indicating that many of those who have had the opportunity to use Rust have fallen in love with it. However, the roughly 97% of survey respondents who haven't used Rust may wonder, "What's the deal with Rust?" The short answer is that Rust solves pain points present in many other languages, providing a solid step forward w

In Pycon in 2014, Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python and, at the time, the Benevolent Dictator For Life of the language, stood on stage in a shirt that had a large 2.8 written on it in block letters, with a big red no entry sign through it. “It’s time to move on to Python 3,” he said, telling the audience that they should start adopting the new version of the language into their workflows. Af

In our 2019 Dev Survey, we asked what kind of content Stack Overflow users would like to see beyond questions and answers. The most popular response was “tech articles written by other developers.” So from now on we'll be regularly publishing articles from contributors. If you have an idea and would like to submit a pitch, you can email pitches@stackoverflow.com. Hey there, I'm Ryland Goldstein, a

While we continue to investigate the recent attack to Stack Overflow, here is an update on what we’re able to share today. The intrusion originated on May 5 when a build deployed to the development tier for stackoverflow.com contained a bug, which allowe

Stack Overflow has been around for more than a decade. As I look back, it’s really amazing how far it has come. Only six months after we had launched Stack Overflow, my co-founder Jeff Atwood and I were invi

Thanks to some amazing efforts and collaboration between our veteran users and quite a few new faces that jumped in to help us with our inclusion efforts, our brand new Code of Conduct (CoC) is rolling off the press and going into effect across the network today.

But sometimes, loving something means caring enough to admit that it has a problem.Let’s start with the painful truth: Too many people experience Stack Overflow¹ as a hostile or elitist place, especially newer coders, women, people of color, and others in marginalized groups.Our employees and community have

Capture, share, & collaborate on knowledge internally. JavaScript UI frameworks and libraries work in cycles. Every six months or so, a new one pops up, claiming that it has revolutionized UI development. Thousands of developers adopt it into their new projects, blog posts are written, Stack Overflow questions are asked and answered, and then a newer (and even more revolutionary) framework pops up

Capture, share, & collaborate on knowledge internally. We recently showed that, based on Stack Overflow question visits, Python has a claim to being the fastest-growing major programming language, and that it has become the most visited tag on Stack Overflow within high-income countries. Why is Python growing so fast? Python is used in a variety of purposes, ranging from web development to data sc

Capture, share, & collaborate on knowledge internally. We recently explored how wealthy countries (those defined as high-income by the World Bank) tend to visit a different set of technologies than the rest of the world. Among the largest differences we saw was in the programming language Python. When we focus on high-income countries, the growth of Python is even larger than it might appear from

Capture, share, & collaborate on knowledge internally. Do you use tabs or spaces for code indentation? This is a bit of a "holy war" among software developers; one that's been the subject of many debates and in-jokes. I use spaces, but I never thought it was particularly important. But today we're releasing the raw data behind the Stack Overflow 2017 Developer Survey, and some analysis suggests th

Capture, share, & collaborate on knowledge internally. This morning, a popular Stack Overflow question hit a major milestone: You're not alone, jclancy. In the five years since this question was asked, there have been over a million other developers who got stuck in Vim and couldn't escape without a bit of help. Indeed, the difficulty of quitting the Vim editor is a common joke among developers. I

Capture, share, & collaborate on knowledge internally. On a typical day, developers ask over 8,000 questions on Stack Overflow about programming problems they run into in their work. Which technologies are they asking about, and how has that changed over time? Today, we're introducing the Stack Overflow Trends tool to track interest in programming languages and technologies, based on the number of

Capture, share, & collaborate on knowledge internally. Do you program in the evening? How about late at night? I enjoy programming as a hobby and I'm a bit of a night owl, so I often code well outside working hours, sometimes past midnight. And whatever time it is, when I run into a bug I visit Stack Overflow. This means that Stack Overflow data can give us insights into what kinds of developers p

At Stack Overflow, keeping your information safe is our top concern. And as a community with over 40 million people each month, it has to be: Our success has made us a frequent target of attacks. Computer security is always evolving. Passwords are “what you know.” Smart cards are “what you have.” We decided to ask “how you do you.” Today we’re proud to publicly launch that latest evolution.

For me, the weekends are mostly about spending time with my family, reading for leisure, and working on the open-source projects I am involved in. These weekend projects overlap with the work that I do in my day job here at Stack Overflow, but are not exactly the same. Many developers tinker with side projects for learning or career developmen

There was a time where it seemed like we barely even needed to talk about this: Joel had won the argument, the Internet agreed that private offices were the future, and only incompetent management (or a tight budget) was still putting developers in cubicle farms.

Hi English-language readers! This blog post is not for you; perhaps you'd like a hat instead? No? Well, when last we spoke of creating non-English versions of Stack Overflow, some of you were certain we should've gone the easy route and just leveraged a machine translation service instead of creating real sites for real people to use. I humbly invite you to read the rest of this post using the mec
