Who are we capable of becoming?

We are capable of becoming 'anything'. What will we become? Well, you requested no bleak outlooks…

Please let me elaborate.

Stack Exchange consists of two conflicting parties: the company, and the community. Both parties have very different ideas of what SE’s future looks like, but, unfortunately, rely on each other.

Without the company, the community 'dies', without the community (e.g., the 1%), the company loses its business model. As I’ve talked about in Slate’s previous question.

The bottom line: For Stack Exchange to reach its full potential, the community and the company must first work together.

I don’t know what our 'full potential' looks like, but I do know is that getting there won’t be a walk in the park.

The bottom line: For Stack Exchange to reach its full potential - whatever that may be - the company and community must first work together. Which is easier said than done.
