• Philippe - He made the case that you all were the right ones to steer this process, and we share his faith in the ability of this community to identify the best path forward.

• Berthold - You may not hear from me often, but when you do it’s usually a lot at once. I’m often talking to you about unpopular things.

• Spevacus - He saw behind the curtain and hasn’t run screaming yet. He’s got a lot of ideas powered by his time as a community member.

• Frog - He’s the one who can take you on a deep dive into the data. A true amphibian who can live both above and below the surface of that digital pond.

• JNat - JNat's been here long enough to know where the unicorns are buried. They bring history, context, and analysis that's sorely needed to a changing landscape.

This Q&A is an AMA* with some members of the team. Post your questions as an answer; responses will be comments.

As the Stack Overflow community gets to work on building the future (Looking ahead, starting conversations, and seizing the moment), these are the staff members who will be working on it.

The rest of the community team is here too, but you’ll hear from those four the most regarding Stack Overflow. Some CMs are working on projects with other sites on the network (Partnering with Communities to Modernize Policies & Norms). Others do quite a lot to keep the ship running. I want to give a serious shout-out to Bella_Blue. In addition to overseeing Trust & Safety, she is working at the bleeding edge of her field as part of the team building Stack Overflow for Agents. A lot of you probably think that project is weird. It totally is. But it’s also got one foot in the future, so give it some space to figure itself out.

Developers and Designers

• Connell - He’s worked on many of the core contribution initiatives recently and loves taking a sledgehammer to the monolith

• Cart - An upfront guy building out the front end

• KyleMit - He’s been around for a long time and is deeply committed to making sure the site works for you

• Lauren Ipsum - Lauren guides our work with excellent designs and users flows and has one of my favorite usernames on the site

• marrados - He keeps us on our toes by asking the hard questions and automating our world to save everyone time

• AI (in the spirit of transparency) - In addition to day-to-day human development work, we’ve been experimenting with using AI to tackle smaller and easily-defined changes. If you’re a software developer, you are probably nodding your head knowingly. If you’re not, this might seem scary. Don’t worry, our bots and agents are not sentient. They are monitored and their work is carefully reviewed. But we do enjoy having them be kinda snarky.

This is not an exhaustive list. There are some team members who don’t want a spotlight on them. There are others who contribute ideas and expertise but whose development and design work is focused elsewhere.

*Ask Me Anything doesn’t really mean “anything”. Any questions focused on things beyond our jobs are answered at the recipients’ discretion, and the recipients may be constrained by company policy or common sense from speaking to particular topics or issues. Please keep questions respectful and non-leading. Levity is welcome, let’s maybe aim for a 70/30 split of serious/fun.
