    everyone hates SO for some reason but i found it immensely useful and the, quote unquote ‘Mean-ness’ of the community meant it never turned into a reddit-quippy-like forum. You get in, ask a question and get out. and you better search for your question properly beforehand or just get chewed out instantly.

    Like its a site meant for professionals. Can you imagine a doctor version where someone asks to draw blood and everyone not losing their minds, yelling at him to use the search bar lmao.

      The problem is that many questions, the answer changes over time. Having a question closed and redirected to a answer from 10 years ago isn’t right.
