About this Episode

In this special episode of the show, we're excited to bring you our conversation with Prashanth Chandrasekar, CEO of Stack Overflow. This interview was recorded as a part of the annual Prosus AI Marketplace event.

In our discussion with Prashanth, we explore the impact the pandemic has had on Stack Overflow, how they think about community and enable collaboration in over 100 million monthly users from around the world, and some of the challenges they've dealt with when managing a community of this scale. We also examine where Stack Overflow is in their AI journey, use cases illustrating how they're currently utilizing ML, what their role is in the future of AI-based code generation, what other trends they've picked up on over the last few years, and how they're using those insights to forge the path forward.
