Everybody knows where to find the right answer to all of our questions. That’s right, you would go to google.com and search whatever is on your mind.
For us, developers, sysadmins, devops, etc in the IT industry, all the answers are on stackoverflow.com. I’m not kidding. Whatever you need help with, is answered on that beautiful forum, with examples and everything. And nobody has ever reached their home page, because, as a normal person, you google and there is a link dedicated to each question.
Anyway, today’s morning started a little weird. I was setting up an Apache Web Server when I ran to a problem. As always, google and then go to stackoverflow (yes, the first link on the search results.). Everything was fine till I copy-pasted a code snippet. One second after doing that I ran into this message.
I thought to myself “WHAT IS GOING ON? DID THEY STARTED TO CHARGE USERS FOR COPY PASTING?” My career (and a lot of other people ones) would be finished.
A lot of time after i realized something.
My heart started beating again. Ha, very funny stack overflow!
