Yes, you read it right. My new role at StackOverflow is Human Exception Handler.
I just became a moderator at StackOverflow β a site that almost every developer loves to use and receive a great amount of help from.
π Became a Moderator at StackOverflow!

Membership#
While I am a member of StackOverflow network forΒ five years, five months, it was only one and a half years ago, I thought about getting serious to give back at least 10% of what I take from this awesome resource.Β And it’s moderator by privilege not by the popular vote. Hope to be that someday soon.
The Story#
So, what started as an experiment, quickly escalated into something interesting. Now, almost every time I find a solution to something weird like:
- How to install PIP on Mac
- β or β
- Β How to create custom labels on GitHub β
I end up contributing an easyΒ to follow answer.
Gladly, sometimes it helps fellow developers and I get the sense ofΒ giving back, however small it may seem.
Some Statistics#
If you’re like me thenΒ you looooveΒ data. I’ve some data, some fun statistics about my StackOverflow profile.
- Top 2% this year.
- 2,040 reputation.
- 1,300,000 people have read my solutions to their problems.
I published this post to hold myself accountable and to make a point that you should start helping people. Helping people is fun! It’s a rewarding thing to do, in its own way!
Cheers!
