This seems like more of an ad for Discourse instead of a real conversation.
On that, I don't believe Jeff Atwood has a secret for creating a great community. Being there ever since he started writing, he just creates interesting things to write about. He then formed a large following and tried an endeavor at a Q&A forum and he brought his followers of his blog with him. Thats not a secret, just building what users want.
With that, I believe Stackoverflow is slowing degrading with content. It seems more and more these days the questions are not getting answered. Which stops the Q&A from being successful...
(: That's why I'm less and less active on SO. It used to be a community. Now it is ruled by diamond mods and 10k users that think they know how to run a community but don't because they judge the world from their ivory towers.
I hate SO for following hard rule that questions sometime are not fit and so called community sounds rude or questioner being punished for asking a question innocently. "Silicon Valley style" won't be accepted by every polite ones. I won't call it as a "community" as the ones build by open source ones.

It might be a great site to get questions answered, but I feel no sense of community from there.
I'd sooner ask Kim Jong Un about how to build strong familial relationships.
