It's a nice article on how to be a helpful programmer, but I don't think focusing on what percentile you rank in a social media-esque website is very healthy.
The message I took from the post was that it doesn't take a lot to do your part in contributing to the wider community
I think I was focused on them saying that the reason for their ranking was that they were an active part of the community and was contrasting that to my experience. I haven't used the site since I was a fledgling engineer who defaulted to asking S.O. multiple times a day. My lack of engagement in the past decade didn't prevent a meteoric rise in community points.
I do think the underlying message of "it's good to try and contribute to your community and it's not that effortful to do so in a way that benefits everyone" is a good message to try and convey. I'll try to reel back my snark a little going forward.
