It just occured to me, that I haven't asked anything on SO for a while now. It might even be years, the last I asked for help.

Most of the problems I come across were already faced by someone else.

Do you guys feel the same?

I haven’t asked that much on SO. Often I can find the answer myself. In other cases my question is so niche I don’t know how to formulate it into a good SO question.

One of my questions got closed for being duplicate because it was tangentially related to a different question. I got the answer, but it left me a sour taste.

Did you get the answer from the duplicate? If so I don't see what the problem is, they're building a knowledge repository so all dupes must be closed

Only from the comment saying it was a duplicate. The question wasn’t even the same and the answer was barely touching my question.
