	Stack Overflow is a prominent question-and-answer website tailored specifically for computer programmers. It stands as the flagship site of the Stack Exchange Network, established in 2008 by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky. The platform was designed to offer a more open alternative to pre-existing Q&A websites like Experts-Exchange, facilitating discussions on a wide array of computer programming topics. On June 2, 2021, Stack Overflow was acquired by Prosus, a Netherlands-based consumer internet conglomerate, for $1.8 billion.

	The concept of Stack Overflow was brought to life by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky in 2008, with its name being chosen through a vote by readers of Atwood's programming blog, Coding Horror. Initially launched as a private beta in July 2008, it quickly transitioned to a public beta by September 15, 2008. The platform's development was further supported by a $6 million venture capital investment led by Union Square Ventures in May 2010. In 2021, the acquisition by Prosus marked a significant milestone in the site's history, highlighting its value and impact on the global programming community.
