Did I misremember, or is the accepted answer now always pinned (on those applicable sites) regardless of the sort setting?

uh?

Because I just had a confusement moment seeing a not-the-oldest answer as the first answer on "oldest" sort setting.

@MetaAndrewT. always has been

I think selected answer is always pinned on the sites that have selected answer pinned

as per the old ways

So I did misremember... only self-answer is not pinned then...

Welp, thanks all!

Has the 30 day featured time before community removes the featured been removed on per-site metas?

Or am I misremembering

I don't remember at all :D

Q: Did the Community user stop automatically demoting [featured] posts after 30 days?

6:16 PM

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica I don't think so, but sometimes it's late and takes more than 30+ days (e.g. this one is from 11 Dec - 15 Jan)

Also,

I recall that once upon a time the Community user removes the featured tag from posts 30 days after it's added (example, see revision 4). However, this question has been featured for more than 40 days and the Community user hasn't kicked in to remove the featured status. Has the behavior changed ...

Thanks :)

@MetaAndrewT. I think that's the system working as intended. The script that removes the tag after 30 days runs once a week every Saturday. There have been more recent issues with weekly schedulers failing to run correctly, so I think that's what happened in this case. — Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog 23 secs ago

same difference

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog So it would start being a bug at 37 days

@Luuklag Prior to the answer to my last question, that's what I would have said. But given that answer which says that weekly scripts sometimes fail to run, I'd say wait for three runs and then file a bug.

Not likely that SE will go out of their way to fix a once-in-a-blue-moon failure of a script running if it's bound to fix itself next run.

Roberta Arcoverde has been promoted to Director of Engineering for SO (MSE profile)

🚽

@Mithical who was their predecessor, or is it a new function?

@Luuklag I get a feeling a 'lot' of reshuffling is going on, but we don't have the same visibility we used to have to internally...

so.. no idea :D

@JourneymanGeek Jon Chan, what I read from the blog by Roberta

uh, where did he go?

@JourneymanGeek nowhere yet it appears

Might also be that google translate isn't optimal in translating job titles

stack-overflow

Before starting to work at Stack Overflow, at the carnival of 2014, I remember that, to alleviate my anxiety, I started looking for content on the internet about the work environment, who my future colleagues would be and what to expect. I found this article , written by Jon Chan (who, by the way, still works with us and is now director of engineering).

"engineering manager, public q&a" is a different title

@KevinB his network account says different btw, so no guessing in which one is accurate

anyways I'm calling it a night.
