Why #11

Why stackit when there is already howdoi?

lukasschwab commented 9 years ago

Looking at the howdoi documentation, I think they offer different functionality.

stackit specifically targets the debugging process, especially with the -e command line argument, whereas howdoi seems to work really well for answering simple questions before you write code. stackit functions as a CLI for StackOverflow, whereas howdoi returns single answers.

Closing b/c not actually an issue––happy to continue discussion on closed thread.
