On the subject of SO: I think it's worth considering how (incredibly!) valuable the public record of questions and answers is. Many, many times I don't have to ask a question b/c I can find a comparable one that has already been answered.
I really dislike how Slack is starting to dominate in the Q&A space for specific projects/libraries, b/c it does the entire dev community a disservice to hide knowledge into a myriad of little silos that Google doesn't index.
Long way of saying it would be awesome if BugRex had a searchable/spiderable archive.
