Developer Social Network StackShare Raises $5.2 million from e.Ventures

What was once the relatively uniform LAMP stack of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP years ago has been replaced by nearly infinite variations.For software developers, the choices are dizzying, and there are limited vetted resources on the web to understand which combinations work well — particularly in production — and which do not.The community, first launched in 2014 as a humble WordPress blog site, has now grown to over 200,000 developers sharing their technology stacks as well as advice on how to use them.You could search for companies using a specific database, programming language, and front end library together and who are slightly larger than you, and learn much faster.Long term, the company sees an obvious opportunity around recruiting as part of its business model, as well as some access for vendors.
