I'm sure she's a programmer. But she's a programmer who drops her Stack Overflow score... let's just say that's a red flag in my book. (For all programmers).
For non programmers, it's like someone dropping their reddit karma score, or the number of their subscribers on Youtube as the first thing they say. Basically "my most important accomplishment is some rather unimportant digits".
(Views matter far more than subscribers on youtube, mostly because subscribers can easily be manipulated)
Stack overflow scores are not solar to reddit scores. Stack overflow scores are merit based. If I'm not a good programmer, I am not going to get a high stack overflow score. I can get a high reddit karma count just by reposting the same meme across a hundred different subs
They're still voting based, and that's a problem. Are you a programmer? Because it's rather easy to get a high Stack Overflow score if you want it. Actually it might be a bit easier. Upvotes earn you 5x downvotes give you.
I actually just checked, I have 721 rep, with 9 questions asked, and 3 answers given. Heck, just logging in each day gets you 10 points.
721 reputation puts you at ~55th percentile. 37k puts her easily in the 99th percentile. It's a pretty big difference.
