| Jul 31, 2025 at 0:39 | comment | added | Justin Time - Reinstate Monica | The names could work in some cases. I can see "Snack Overflow" working just fine for a dessert or confectionary SE, for instance. ~~Please ignore that "Snack Exchange" probably works better, since an overflow implies they're falling on the ground and being ruined.~~ | |
| Jul 11, 2025 at 17:14 | comment | added | N. Virgo | The diagram isn't that helpful. Look for the site that's currently called "Stack Overflow" in the second diagram - it's not there, unless its new name will be "Stack Overflow Business", which I don't think it will. They'll probably have to think of a new name for it in order to distinguish it from the other sites, at which point we'll be back to exactly where we are now, except that they'll have swapped all the names around for no reason, solving no problem and confusing everyone. | |
| Jul 11, 2025 at 13:59 | comment | added | TylerH | In the beginning it was just for everyone, actually: web.archive.org/web/20090322201557/http://stackoverflow.com/… the only requirement was that you ask a specific, detailed programming question and avoid opinions, argumentative tones, or discussions: web.archive.org/web/20090318051054/http://stackoverflow.com/faq But yes, ever since the SO Tour page existed (2013?), it's mentioned 'professional and enthusiast programmers'. | |
| Jul 10, 2025 at 19:53 | comment | added | Laurel | I'm already confused when I get an email that says "Stack Overflow—Your question has been closed". I've gotten more of these than I have questions on SO, since they're all about my closed Meta SE questions. I don't know how new users are going to manage. | |

| Jul 10, 2025 at 16:50 | comment | added | D. Ben Knoble | I was going to post my own answer, but feel free to edit with some of this. If StackExchange is to be referred to by StackOverflow (expanded to technology enthusiasts), where does that leave… English Language Learners? SciFi? Board & Card Games, Chess, or RPGs? Etc.? Arguably all of those are “technology” in some sense, and I constantly remind myself that assuming “tech ~ computers” is a mistake. But still, I don’t think most folks think of books as technology day-to-day. | |
| Jul 10, 2025 at 16:30 | comment | added | user400654 | the tour page has always said that, yes, but that's not the experience new users get when they try to participate. | |
| Jul 10, 2025 at 16:29 | comment | added | user405010 | "I don't think SO/SE is that confusing." Critically, having everything under the SO branding seems more confusing. | |
