He doesn't want us to contribute for Stack Overflow in the leisure time, rather he's poking us to provide support for mediocre developers who struggle to complete their task on time.

Yesterday he got very angry and scolded me "Don't let me to say this once again, it will not be good. Do office works in office. Take care of your other jobs (Stack Overflow contribution) at your home." ...

What should i do in order to continue contributing for Stack Overflow at this context.?

Your team leader already told you exactly what you should do. If you value your job, you should listen to him. As he indicated, doing otherwise "will not be good".

Do your work at work. If you have free time on your hands, assist the other developers. (Perhaps you can even help some of them to become more than just mediocre. As several commenters have pointed out - that's good for them and for you.) Contribute to Stack Overflow on your own time, at home.

If you are looking for a job that lets you do whatever you choose (contribute to Stack Overflow, play games, post to Facebook, etc) whenever you choose, wherever you choose, it sounds like you are in the wrong company (at least according to your team leader).

he doesn't want us to contribute to SO in our leisure time

But if you're in the office, being paid and it's within your contracted hours of work then it's not your leisure time is it? I'd consider these hours to be non-utilized hours and whilst there may be an argument to be had in terms of people accessing non-related sites while at work I'm not sure it's a productive one to have.

If you're regularly contributing to the extent that you're hitting the rep cap each day then clearly you've plenty to offer. I don't think it's unreasonable for your manager to ask you to channel that internally in the first instance. After all, the company who you work for pay your wages, not SO.

I like Yochannah's suggestion that for every answer gained from SO you contribute one. This may be a reasonable middle ground to agree upon for the moment. In addition concentrate on complying with the direction from your manager by supporting those you deem 'mediocre' until they reach the standards you'd expect them to be working at. This does not mean doing the work for them, or working over and beyond the hours you're contracted and paid to do. It means offering support and advice, acting as a mentor, peer review of code etc. You'll likely find a lot of it will be similar to the contributions you're making on SO.

Once you've achieved that then it might be reasonable to re-raise the issue as part of a discussion into your professional development plans.

If I had team members who were struggling and other team members who were not and who were finished their own work, I too would expect those developers to help. The deadline and the work comes first, period.

You don't have time to be on Stack Overflow as much as you are because the work is not getting done. It is as simple as that. If the work was getting done, he wouldn't be upset. The work is not my tasks and their tasks, it is our tasks. You rearrange workload to get the work done and that is what he is doing. It appears to me that you are not committed to your job since your reputation on Stack Overflow is apparently more important to you than what you are being paid to do. That is a problem and one I would not be happy about as a team lead.

Unfortunately for the Stack Overflow community your lead obviously wants your time spent training internally rather than the larger community on the Stack Exchange.

This is their prerogative, they employ you for X-hours a day/week/whatever. Many employers support Stack Overflow and see the benefits they gain from it, others don't.

At the end of the day you've been asked not to contribute to a website but to train internally instead. It's a reasonable (if unfortunate) request, denying it could easily lead to disciplinary action. In my opinion it's not worth the risk.

我大多同意 Joe Strazzere在這裡的答案-不幸的是，您被要求做自己需要做的事情，而不僅僅是做自己喜歡的事情。

我認為值得一提的一點是，不給予任何回報（例如使用Stack Overflow指導）也是不公平的。就是說，如果您每天都設法達到銷售代表上限，那麼聽起來您可能會有點沉重。

為什麼不提出將使用量減少到更公平的要求，例如承諾將其限制為用於給定答案的答案？如果您使用堆棧溢出答案來幫助您完成某件事，則可以自己編寫。將其他所有內容都留在家中。

Here's what your lead is thinking: "You're on a team and you're not helping your team when you're done with your tasks. Instead, you're gaming on SO trying to max out your score. You might as well be on Eve Online blowing stuff up or playing WoW."

To your lead it doesn't matter that you're on SO. He sees team members struggling and a clearly talented developer preferring to screw around on the web instead of helping to grow the struggling folks.

You didn't wake up one day with magical unicorn-bending programming powers. Someone taught you, or wrote books and blogs you read. I doubt your genius mind was able to grasp every concept you now know on your own. Now that you are so good that you are maxing out your contribution score daily, its time to give back. Instead of trying to improve your score on SO, help your team. To not do so is professionally unethical and that's why your lead is on your case.

Helping out your team will benefit you in a number of ways:1) your lead will stop yelling at you for screwing around,2) the mediocre developers will learn how to code and produce more for the team,3) you will gain the respect of those folks you mentor, and4) you may develop social skills useful in developing relationships with other bipedal carbon-based humanoid lifeforms.

您確實需要退後一步，查看您的優先級，然後嘗試弄清它們的混亂之處。從長遠來看，每天在Stack Overflow上達到每日銷售收入上限到底會對您有什麼幫助？在網站上打開更多特權？堆棧溢出特權是否可以幫助您更好地工作？既然您比以前擁有了，他們會幫助您的公司在整體上做得更好嗎？

老闆的所作所為會給您自己和公司帶來更多好處，這是否更有意義？首先，如果團隊中有“平庸”的開發人員正在努力按時完成任務，難道不是他們的代碼沒有達到應有的水平嗎？這意味著幫助他們提高編碼技能也將提高項目中代碼的整體質量，這將使每個人的生活更加輕鬆，並幫助團隊整體上及早完成項目。如果這種情況發生在生產率提高的地方，並且每個人都能夠在沒有問題的情況下按時完成任務，那麼這也將使老闆的壓力減輕，他更願意讓人們在外部幫助站點上發帖。

也可以考慮的一些東西可以幫助您，因為它會給您提供經驗，指導正在苦苦掙扎的程序員，這對經理來說是一項重要技能。

您的問題對我來說似乎有點幼稚。

如果您的老闆不希望您在工作時間繼續工作，那就不要去。我不明白為什麼這是一個很大的問題，您甚至似乎因此說您的工作環境很糟糕。您似乎認為您在一個不屬於自己的地方工作是因為您在辦公室時不能去SO嗎？我認為這不是一個大問題，為SO做出貢獻是一件好事，並且可以成為一件好事為您的工作（即提高您的技能），但您的老闆不希望這樣做，所以也許在您的閒暇時間嘗試做其他事情。

他不希望您簡單地回答“公司中的“壞”開發人員，但希望您與他們一起完成任務，也許告訴他，像其他人在您的工作場所所做的那樣，回答他們的問題要比在Facebook上做事更好，並且告訴他，如果您不幫助他們而對他們有所幫助

Edit：嘗試讓他們更加禮貌

儘管我們在給定的時間內完成了工作，但他不希望我們在辦公室停機期間為SO做出貢獻。相反，他是希望我們為那些無法按時完成任務的普通開發人員提供支持。

如果為其他開發人員提供支持是您工作的一部分，那麼您還沒有完成，這就是您應該做的。

如果為其他開發人員提供支持不是您工作的一部分，那麼您就完成了，您的主管是亂七八糟，您可能應該在別的地方，這樣當您完成工作後，他就不會在您的肩膀上抬頭。

Should I switch my job to some other company?

I can't imagine any employers being particularly pleased you spend work time during answering questions on a website. Your team leader appears pretty sensible.

You think someone should pay you to surf the internet and answer random questions ?

您正在回答有關StackOverflow的問題。為什麼不上班？我認為這裡存在多個問題，其中大多數都能相互解決。

1. 您的初級開發人員需要幫助
2. 他們不知道如何自助（這是一個最好的理由（我可能會補充）。
3. 您正在幫助隨機的陌生人在公司時間自助，這很有趣
ol>

那麼...為什麼不只是擁有內部版本的SO？明確指出，初級開發人員無法保證獲得答案。讓他們在遇到問題時使用它（這反過來又是很好的橡皮鴨調試）。僅在他們需要時進行一對一的輔導。

簡而言之，將一個問題（人們忙得不可開交）和另一個問題（不知道自己在做什麼的初中生）轉化為解決方案（同樣偉大的遊戲化，一個創造有用的機會內部知識庫和改善組織的學習和知識文化）。如果仍然有問題，請告訴他們檢查Q&A網站。質疑正確的方法。

可能會給它帶來一些好處（也許是對本月最佳答卷人的獎勵），並且您將一舉解決這裡的許多 real 問題

Go and talk to your team lead. I see two issues here (and I have been there):

1. You are obviously bored from your job or/and position.

2. Your team lead is under pressure, because the juniors are producing low-quality work, and you are not productive (see 1).

   • So stop slacking and go fix your real problems (AKA your team lead problems).
   • Ask what the major issues are, and how you can help. Discuss it.
   • Sure, it is not an option for you to stay until 9, but if both of you sit together and talk about it, you can figure out a way to help the juniors and lower the stress for all.

If your boss is happy with you, spending reasonable time on Stack Overflow will not be a problem.

他真的討厭使用 Stack Overflow嗎？還是他不是很了解Stack Overflow是什麼以及它如何給他的團隊和公司帶來好處。

這是社區的事情，你付出和接受。

真正的問題是：您如何使老闆相信Stack Overflow使您的團隊更有生產力？我的意思是每個開發人員都使用Google並最終在Stack Overflow上找到針對大多數開發問題的解決方案。現在他可以說，讓我們拿走，我不希望你退回。您要么接受，要么讓他明白他的長期和短期利益是什麼。

您需要放鬆，Stack Overflow是放鬆的好方法。它使您的大腦擺脫了當前的問題，同時又可以學到一些新知識。請參閱“ 科學解釋為什麼在線上的閒暇確實能使您提高生產力”。

讓您成功的一件事是對自己的工作感到高興 。如果您的老闆不明白這一點，並且想參加一個良好的工作環境，您真的想為他工作嗎？在我的書中，優秀的管理者應該激勵和促進自我學習。

我敢打賭，您可以提出更紮實的理由說明為什麼給予和承擔Stack Overflow對您，您的同事，您的老闆和您的公司都有利。

如果您不能說服他， ，開始提高您的溝通/說服力，或者說您可以開始尋找可以接受共享的其他工作。

平衡：請理解，我並不是說您應該不能幫助您的同事，並且只能在停機期間監視堆棧溢出，但是我確實認為您和您的老闆都需要在付出與接受之間找到一個良好的平衡。無論是在工作場所還是在互聯網上。

世界各地對工作與生活的平衡看法不同。一些“為工作而活”，而另一些“為工作而活”。請務必閱讀哈佛的本文。考慮一下您當地的文化可接受的內容，並採取相應的行動。

自律並防止Stack Overflow上癮：請記住，像Stack Overflow這樣的網站可能會很容易上癮。為了自律，我使用名為救援時間的免費工具記錄了我的互聯網使用情況。如果出於某種原因我在 Stack Exchange網站上花費了過多的時間，我只是確保我花了一個小時以上來彌補。如果我遇到類似的情況，這似乎是與我的老闆爭吵的好理由。

如果您正確，及時地完成了所有工作，則可以毫不猶豫地回答有關SO的問題。 Yourboss不能怪您沒有交付。但是，如果您有太多的閒暇時間用於SO，那麼老闆可能會減少您的工作時間，而是請承包商或兼職員工代替。但是，如果只是您的10％到20％的時間，那麼請繼續做一些有益的事情，並可能在此過程中豐富您的知識。您可以將部分時間分配給SO，其餘時間分配給同事。

可能是您的平庸同事已經在SO上發布了la腳的問題（不花力氣），很可能會被否決並關閉下。再說一次，並不是每個人都在S.O.精明或具有編程能力。因此，無論如何您很有可能正在幫助其他平庸的人。因此，請考慮幫助人們在辦公室一點點，然後再做一些SO工作。您需要使老闆們遠離尾巴。不要牽手那些懶惰的人一無所知。只要給他們一個或兩個線索，並告訴他們使用谷歌。如果他們卡在某個地方，請幫助他們。

此外，請嘗試讓老闆知道您正在嘗試幫助初學者或中等水平的開發人員。例如。如果他們的任務需要大量時間，請要求他們通過電子郵件將您的幫助請求發送給您，有時會抄送給您的老闆。您將因您的工作而獲得榮譽。

PS：您的老闆沒有意識到像您這樣的人能夠使初學者和普通人完成10％至20％的任務。甚至不知道SO可以用來問問題，儘管確實擁有美國著名大學的學士學位。當那個人給我發送郵件尋求幫助時，我感到很震驚，可以通過一些學習和努力輕鬆地搜索並解決這些幫助。我把那個人帶到SO，他們再也沒有……再寄給我。嚴重荒謬。還有更多示例，但我們將其保留另一天。

If I understand correctly, you're being paid to work at a designated task, and you want to do something else? I think that your supervisor is being more than reasonable just talking to you about it. You do work for him, you know.

If I warned you once, and found you doing it again, that would be of considerable interest when I did your next performance review/salary adjustment.

My personal reaction to a similar situation? I had my network guy block the IP. If you have a problem with doing your job, perhaps you're a bad fit in your current position. There are lots of openings for contract programmers. If you were doing that, you could SO all day; of course, you wouldn't be able to bill any of that time...

NOTE :- I love Stackoverflow so i might be biased

He is an uninformed manager.

Does he saw you typing? does he think SO is waste?.

A simple test could be to block SO in office for a week and see the Input vs output effect.Startups usually give poor training and leave new developers to drift.They even give newbies big projects beyond their capacities. Small companies pick project based upon technologies they do not know. Stackoverflow is the Savior a grand platform to be associated with.

Identify the real problem

Does he has problem with SO or you?

Is he jealous of your reputation?

I am not that convinced that SO is real problem becoz no one works 8 hours on clock every day you take breaks (indian context frequent smoke/cofee/chat breaks). If you Do SO at that time its should be ok.

SolutionsYou can stop using your system for SO and use your smart phone.

And at times you have to stand against being micro managed. talk to him in terms of deliveries and dead line,how you achieve them is your problem.

Be polite and tell him SO is not a illegal site and its not blocked by our internet usage policy (i hope your management is more then you TL) it is not effecting your output. IF you are not comfortable training people tell him you cannot train others you can just guide them.strong text

我認為您需要讓團隊負責人了解為什麼在這裡做出貢獻很重要。

這很重要，因為當您提出問題時，如果您是社區，就更有可能得到答案。貢獻者。反過來，這將幫助您更快地解決問題，最終對您的雇主有所幫助。

您至少應該嘗試一下。如果它不起作用，那就別動。或者找到另一份工作。
