When reading the assignment, I thought I would be visiting a new site that I had not seen before. Only after noticing the design of the page I understood that I had read Stack Exchange already without knowing what the name of the site was. I had stumbled upon it when looking for answers to problems I couldn\u2019t solve for my engineering classes.

After using Stack Exchange I am still slightly confused for why people leave very extensive comments to questions that random people have posted. Is it just a good deed they are doing? I am more than confident that I will use this site again in future to at least gauge answers to simple questions. I am curious how accurate the answers are for more sophisticated questions, but that I am yet to explore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
