20+ year programmer and I've never made an account on SO. During the early stages of SO, the idea of making people have to earn a certain amount of SO karma just to ask a question seemed like an odd obstacle to place in front of new users. I get why they may want to do it but decisions like that are already divisive and toxic to being with.
