Recapping Stack’s first community-wide AMA (Ask Me Anything)

Thank you to community members far and wide who attended the Stack AMA yesterday, February 26th, 2025. Prashanth, Philippe, and Jody were glad to hear from the community, share their vision for the network, and answer some of your questions – even the tough ones.

As Prashanth mentioned, over the course of the next year, the company is focusing on ensuring Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange sites remain go-to destinations, by modernizing existing features and introducing new capabilities, and content types, to promote contribution from all types of users.

The primary goal will be to explore the expansion of the current “single lane” Q&A highway into a “three lane” highway that includes 1) the high quality Q&A lane (we want to preserve this and not pollute it!) 2) a medium lane that could include features like Discussions or less strict Stack Exchanges and 3) a fast lane that could include features like Chat.

As an example of a visual, the Stack Overflow home page, could include videos, blogs, Q&A, war stories, jokes, educational materials, jobs, and fold all these formats (or maybe others, we would love to hear your ideas!) together into one personalized destination. We want this place to be your “third screen” - your entry point to your own neighborhood on the internet.

You can read more details about what Stack leadership has in mind here, on Prashanth’s blog.

We know this is a big change that community members will have lots of different opinions about, and questions on – we heard and responded to many of them yesterday. We also want to hear from folks who didn’t make it out to the AMA. Let us know what you think. What would YOU want to see? What features would help make your life easier?
