Right now, on Stack Overflow, Luigi Magione’s account has been renamed. Despite having fruitfully contributed to the network he is stripped of his name and his account is now known as “user4616250”.

This appears to violate the creative commons license under which Stack Overflow content is posted.

When the author asked about this:

As of yet, Stack Exchange has not replied to the above post, but they did promptly and within hours gave me a year-long ban for merely raising the question. Of course, they did draft a letter which credited the action to other events that occurred weeks before where I merely upvoted contributions from Luigi and bountied a few of his questions.

Yeah I doubt it tbh. I loved my time with stackoverflow and it landed me jobs and friends but I'm quite bullish when it comes IT and AI. It's not replacing devs yet but definitely replacing q&a, debugging tools, code reviews etc already/soon.

I hope we'll have some open social coding experience like SO but trends seem to point towards more private stuff like coaching, bookcamps, shitty discord servers etc. as that's the only thing that can be funded sustainably.
