TL;DR;
We're replacing CVs with something you can use even if you aren't currently looking for a job.
Update (Jan 4): added an FAQ section to address some common questions & concerns
We've had a lot of announcements lately about changes to Stack Overflow, including the addition...
the link leads to a huge "ARE YOU THINKING OF BUYING A NEW CAR, VAN OR MOTORBIKE?" then ask you to pay. If user is not spammer, he could just post relevant parts, or screenshots.
It's just a not-so-smart spammer trying to cover the spam.
This is a death blow to Careers. Really. It was nice to have, but not anymore - at least for me. It's not just moving the cheese around, which is fine, it's making the cheese into yoghurt. — Shadow Wizard21 mins ago
I agree with out that should not replace it. It should be an optional extension. I have not read it completely... I mean that would be nice to point out some features you like in your app/website/whatever
@StéphaneMartin "You probably signed up to Stack Overflow to help developers and/or to get help" No, I certainly did not. I signed up for Stack Overflow because I agreed that creating a repository of lasting information, of answers to every programming question, is a noble goal that I could help with. Instead of facilitating this goal, Stack Exchange has encouraged "asking" (i.e. requesting the over-incentivized rep whores to do your job for you) over answering, focused on quantity of quality, and made the quality bar harder to maintain as a moderator. — bjb5681 min ago
Becoming a social media site does not help achieve the original goal of creating valuable, lasting information. By focusing on "more features so people can help more", you further dilute the value in Stack Overflow. We don't need another Linked in, we need a site that helps programmers in the way the Stack Overflow was originally intended. — bjb5681 min ago

Because we massively overworked Jeff as a matter of corporate policy, and because he wore big clown-like shoes, it will take at least three people to fill his shoes completely.

> Josh "Shog9" Heyer, Stack Overflow user #811, has overall responsibility for Q&A quality and will be the public face of the company on metas. As such he's the closest we have to an "ultimate authority". Since he's usually right, I recommend listening to him.

Originally, this script stemmed from a small script that watched stars and who made them, but a few days after launching, SE patched it so the people behind the stars aren't sent.
Regardless, BigBrother, named after the character from 1984, had other functions, like monitoring obscene or unsight...
I am feeling awful - someone mentioned eigenvectors & eigenvalues, I was reading articles on them and realized that my understanding on the topic was not thorough at all. Kids - do work hard in uni & try to really understand what you are learning. It will save you embarrassment years on.
@Quill just star a message and look at the event object and you'll know
@Quill ah, a DebugMessage event has a .content property that will just be added to the debug message container that chat developers have on their screen
@ShadowWizard when developing locally I can impersonate anyone (which is quite handy when you're working on things related to being pinged by other users). In production I can only impersonate system users
The Stack Exchange WebSockets are handy for various things (like handling spam). For example, try running this JavaScript in your browser's console:
var w = new WebSocket("ws://qa.sockets.stackexchange.com/"); w.onmessage = function(e) { console.log(e) }; w.onopen = function() { w.send("155-ques...
