Top posts on Stackoverflow

After reading blog post One Million Developers Exit Vim, I decided to analyze StackOverflow posts.Instead of download of whole data from StackOverflow, now we can query online on data with Stack Exchange data explorer. Stack exchange data explorer is a great tool to extract data from every site of exchange network including stackoverflow.com. Those who worked on SQL can easily get data. I basically searched top 10 results from individual categories from StackOverflow site. As medium not provide table layout ,embedded airtable frame with post URL column.Also attached link of data.stackexchange.com with each section name. You can fork query , sort on data or apply same query on different sites like Server Fault, Super User etc. Most Viewed Questions These are the questions that are searched most frequently; mostly from search engines and redirected to StackOverflow.
