I'm a newbie, and not a professional/academic economist, and I wanted to check a question was in scope before I posted it.

Gabe Koscky on June 04, 2015

Há mais ou menos 2 anos nós fizemos uma descoberta avassaladora: nós percebemos que a maioria das pessoas do mundo não fala Inglês. E, se isso é verdade, significa que existem programadores que, pasmém, não conhecem o Stack Overflow. O choque inicial foi grande, mas depois de um copo de água com açucar nós decidimos fazer algo a respeito disso: abrir novos sites sobre programação!

Criar novas comunidades onde mesmo quem não fala Inglês possa se expressar em sua própria língua, à sua própria maneira. Afinal, ter a resposta para todo tipo de pergunta sobre programação é só metade do que faz do St …
