Stack Overflow for Teams vs. TextExpander

In my opinion, Stack Overflow for Teams is well suited for an organization that is on a hiring spree for the engineering teams. The reason for it is because instead of catering to doubts of new joinees individually, they can be asked to refer to the Stack Overflow and hence will save a lot of time for both new joiners as well as the existing employees.

For users who live in a specific app that already allows for templates, TextExpander might not be the best fit. Even then though, you are generally limited to one template per message. TextExpander is great because it carries across all platforms I use. I can use it to drop into emails, browsers, Slack convos, etc seamlessly. Really anyone who is consistently using the same language, links, or info would be in the ICP for TextExpander.

I'm obsessed with this app. It was the only thing I asked my leadership team to add to the budget for me. I can't see myself working in the sales/remote/tech space without it these days. Huge fan, love how easy it us to use, low effort to set up, and grows as my needs and use cases do

It's easier to use Stack Overflow for Teams Q&A to maintain our knowledge base over time, over the Confluence wikis that we also maintain. You don't need to bother about folders, filenames, templates - just ask a question and answer it or get it answered. It feels less formal, so developers feel more free to add content.
