UX and business decisions seem to never get along

  Yep. They even bring it up themselves in the very beginning: >“When I come here I’m on a mission; I don’t care about the rest.” >“You’re only there for 1 reason: to find the answer to your question.” >“From my point of view, nothing above the question title exists.” >“I scroll down and read the question.” People google a question, click on a Stack Overflow link, get their answer, close the tab. It works perfectly. Just not for SO, who want you to stay on the site after learning the answer. The whole blog post is Stack Overflow trying to justify them making the UX worse on purpose.

    As a long time (beta) user and contributor to SO, I completely agree.

    I agree, but they did make it easy to make the bar disappear like before (in Preferences-Disable Stickyness). You can't hold it against them that they want people to actually use their site.
