Named for a common computing error (in which memory used in a section of the computer’s storage known as the “call stack” exceeds its allocated capacity) (no need to thank me for explaining), Stack Overflow is a Q&A forum aimed primarily at coders. Or maybe you do what is now the standard troubleshooting method across the profession: You paste the error message into Google and search for it, crossing your fingers in hopes that a website called “Stack Overflow” will come up in the results. You could give up entirely and pour yourself a drink. You could perform the classic occult coding ritual of running the script a few more times and hoping that it’ll just work. So what do you do next? You could double-check and see if you missed adding a semicolon at the end of a line.

For some reason, the code isn’t compiling or it hits a snag at line 281 and the terminal outputs some arcane gibberish like “AttributeError: ‘foo’ object has no attribute ‘bar’.” You’re writing a function in C or Python or Javascript or whatever language you prefer. Maybe you’re studying it in college, or you’ve just started at an entry-level position after attending a five-week coding boot camp. Let’s say you’re relatively new to coding.
