<story><title>Ask Stack Overflow for Atom</title><url>https://atom.io/packages/ask-stack</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>thegeomaster</author><text>I think this is less useful than it looks like.&lt;p&gt;When editing code, I&amp;#x27;m not browsing StackOverflow or switching to StackOverflow so much that the actual Alt+Tab-ing to the browser window is the bottleneck. And when I do Alt+Tab to the browser window, I usually search Google for what I want to achieve, and yes, most of the times I end up on StackOverflow, but sometimes other sites, most notably Wikipedia, can help me better. Periods when I&amp;#x27;m on StackOverflow are more of a small research session within a development session. Quick look-ups constitute a smaller fraction of my Google searches, especially when I work in an environment&amp;#x2F;language I have grokked.&lt;p&gt;Pasting from the answers I see even less useful. What was the last time you actually pasted verbatim a code snippet from a StackOverflow answer? In 95% of the cases, I read the answer to get an idea and then implement it appropriately in my code. Such copy&amp;#x2F;paste solutions are most often just hackjobs full of kludges that are worth marginally more than a pile of dog shit.</text></comment>
