What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.
The site, in 2008
A question-and-answer site for programmers, created by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky and flagship of the Stack Exchange network.
It aimed to be a more open alternative to Experts-Exchange, with votes, reputation points and badges. By 2025 it had over 29 million registered users. Prosus bought it for $1.8 billion in 2021.
In 2008: Launched in public beta on 15 September, after a private beta in July. Readers of Coding Horror voted on the name.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2008 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2008, then plays a short scene. Want Stack Overflow in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
