Bulgaria has the highest average reputation among top users in the Stack Overflow

VB News posted interesting article. They analyzed data from StackOverflow where coders exchange Questions and Answers. Users of the platform vote up or down answers to questions this way ranking the coders who answer the questions and problems posted.

Their analyze shows that London has the highest number of top Stack Overflow members, with 394 that have a reputation over 5,000.

Another ranking based on the average country ranking of Stack Overflow users above the 5,000 threshold shows that Bulgaria has the highest average reputation among top users in the
world.

 

I have no idea how correct is this analyze, but I’m glad to see finally something IT related, where Bulgaria is #1 in the world 🙂

As you all know we try to keep WPC far away from anything commercial and run it more like place where people can share ideas and learn from other people point of view when solving problem, but in other hand we do not want to leave the efforts and time these people spent unrewarded, so for this run we will have material prizes as follows:

for the 1 place winners we will give EUR 100 PROMO CODEs to each of them, which they can use to purchase what they want for up to this value from our web shop + one Arduino FOSDEM-85 edition.

for 2 place we will give EUR 50 PROMO CODE + one Arduino FOSDEM-85 edition.

for 3 place we will give EUR 25 PROMO CODE + one Arduino FOSDEM-85 edition.

place 4-10 will receive by one Arduino FOSDEM-85 edition only.

Thanks for everyone who participated in this run! The counters now are reset again, so next ranking will be after Week #50.
