Tech for good is a team sport
Stack Overflow CEO shares his thoughts on the power of code and community
Working together achieves more. On almost all accounts, the power of collaboration far outweighs the impact of working in isolation — and it’s so important to have the resources you need to make collaboration a reality.
Year after year, Call for Code continues to demonstrate the transformative, life-saving innovation that can come from providing a platform for communities to form and produce technological solutions to address the most pressing issues in our world today.
When it comes to code, sharing expertise and know-how is critical to pushing technology forward — and Stack Overflow has been an integral part to making sure technologists around the world can do this effectively for their most important workloads. Stack Overflow is the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their programming knowledge, and build their careers. As an organization built upon the democratization of knowledge around the world, its connection to Call for Code, the largest tech-for-good initiative of its kind is clear. We were able to catch up with Prashanth Chandrasekar, CEO of Stack Overflow to discuss the power of code and community, two very important components to the genesis of both Stack Overflow and Call for Code. Check it out below:
We all have our own unique skills, passions, and knowledge base — and Stack Overflow has been the main vehicle for developers around the world-many whom participated in Call for Code- to learn new things and build with impact.
