Big news! Stack Overflow is excited to be joining the Prosus family of companies, propelling us into our next phase of growth. Cheers to the future of workplace collaboration and learning! https://t.co/ENHi6pIfza pic.twitter.com/CWpq1LjyAz

I hope all the rank and file Stack Overflow employees got paid (I’m not naive enough to even entertain the idea that the volunteers will get so much as a free t-shirt) and congrats to the team on the exit. But yeah. RIP Stack Overflow.

Educational tech, huh -> "The Stack Overflow deal is Prosus’ first outright acquisition in the educational tech space. Prosus already owns stakes in two educational tech companies—Udemy and Codecademy—servicing companies." https://t.co/eYx9BkuRKG

Thanks and congratulations to @codinghorror, my cofounder, @pchandrasekar, the CEO, hundreds of current and ex-employees who helped build @StackOverflow, and literally millions of developers who have shared their knowledge freely and made programming a little bit better

1) Undervalued at $1.8 billion

2) How did Microsoft miss this?! https://t.co/qvnvBFivm4

People say the key to capturing value from the social web is to contribute value to the social web. The collaborative, empowering, discerning network built by the Stack Overflow community is a really great example of that. Now acquired for $1.8B! https://t.co/x4xRP67woE

— Marshall Kirkpatrick (@marshallk) June 2, 2021

An exciting day! @spolsky called me and let me know. Today's sale of Stack Overflow, most importantly, lets Stack Overflow continue as an independent site -- and also mints 61 new millionaires.

— Jeff Atwood (@codinghorror) June 2, 2021

?Fun Fact: Stack Overflow will continue to operate as an independent company with our current team and with the backing of a global technology powerhouse, Prosus.

Whoa, Stack Overflow acquired for $1.8 billion and it sounds like the team is mostly retaining their independence.

Always always always own your own information. At worst, host your own writings on VPSs - not on shared infrastructure that someone can buy out from under you. https://t.co/PD8T5J3DHi

Investment firm Prosus acquired @StackOverflow, an enormously important programmer help site.
