Re:Ask HN: Am I at a disadvantage for not attending Stanford... by moonlighter on Friday July 29, 2011 @03:13AM (#2820563)
I wouldn't bother with a StackOverflow account, at least not in the sense of 'the more I actively participate, the more Karma I build up there". Ditto with HN and GitHub. Posting code there to show off/try to impress just doesn't work and is a waste of time.

Do it only because you WANT to/have fun doing it, otherwise you won't be able to sustain it in the long run anyway.
