| Apr 16, 2021 at 17:16 | comment | added | Paul | @user9517 You are correct about SO in their inability to help their own users configure a server to support the dev work and instead dumping their questions over here. I had never noticed it before and, yeah, it probably is ~60% of the questions asked are users with substantially higher karma on SO. It also appears they aren't interested in reciprocating when I just ask a simple question requesting help for reading code in a plugin they promptly close the question because apparently anything to do with a server must be dealing with configuring a server (ultimately not the reason for asking). | |

| Apr 14, 2021 at 12:28 | comment | added | Paul | @user9517 A trend I observe is that karma doesn't always tell the whole story. For example, I have the highest karma over at AskUbuntu, but that is only because I hit the jackpot on one question. The majority of my activity has been elsewhere, for example here in SF I have >1400 reviews as I used to spend a lot of time in the review queues I have access to (though I'm not a professional so mostly I was just making sure people were following the site's code conduct, revising questions with poor formatting, encouraging users to ask better questions, etc.). | |

It will most likely be SO which makes them developers. When I did this a few years ago >60% of questions were asked by people with more rep elsewhere in SE. Te remainder were either amateurs or it could not be determined. | |

| Mar 21, 2021 at 9:46 | comment | added | user620588 | How many were answered ? What was the quality of the answers ? What was the reputation of the answerers? | |
| Mar 19, 2021 at 15:32 | comment | added | Bob | The tool is of course: data.stackexchange.com/serverfault - the question is of course what to query to measure "health" | |
