Stack Overflow sold to Prosus for $1.8B
I always thought Microsoft would be a natural buyer given the tech stack and Microsoft's support for developers.<p>Unrelated story, I have a day one Stack Overflow account. I don't remember how I found it but I'm sure it was posted on digg or slashdot or something at the time. I had a lot of posts in the first few years about some generally broad concepts, and completely inactive since.<p>In spite of this, I am in the top 7% of accounts on the site, which is a nice reminder on the power of compound interest!
