As much of an information resource I think it turned out to be for many of us, it’s one of the worst places to actually ask a question for help. Toxic programmer culture just makes it a horrible place. I’ve been writing code for 25 years and the one lesson that’s easy to learn (and early on) is that there are so many folks out there that see things differently than you and approach problems with a different mindset. Sometimes the answer is plain as day to you, and others, a slam dunk is just completely out of reach but obvious to everyone else. SO as a whole needs to learn to give everyone a bit of understanding and either help the community get better or just STFU.
