I’m not a programmer (last time I seriously dabbled into coding was building a website for an A Level Computing project) and I have never personally posted on StackOverflow. In fact, the only StackExchange site I’ve ever been part of was EpicAdvice, a short-lived offshoot that was for World of Warcraft specific questions. But I do have a sibling with a computer science and software engineering background which is how I became aware of the site in the first place.

This isn’t my personal criticism of the site, it’s me echoing the sentiment of the many who have complained about the community across the web.
