I've answered 21 questions, got upvotes on 15 answers, 3 answers accepted by owners, asked 2 questions by myself and both were upvoted. I have no idea what these people in the article are talking about. SO is super friendly and super helpful.

- achikin 10y agoHere it is[1]. I've answered it six months after the first time I came across it. It is so specific that some people considered it nonprogramming and tried to close it. Am I complaining? No. For me, the main purpose of SO is to share specific programmer's knowledge that is not covered by documentation and can only be obtained by experience. The only way to share the knowledge is to communicate with the other people, and sometimes you get rejected this way or the other if you failed to communicate your problem or solution clearly. Taking into consideration the amount of help I've got from SO and the satisfaction from watching my answers being upvoted, I'm ok with being rejected from time to time.

- shagie 10y agoLooking at its history ( http://stackoverflow.com/posts/3326955/revisions http://stackoverflow.com/posts/3326955/revisions ) one can see all of the closes and reopens. This question has not been closed. And it might have been a better question to ask on SuperUser (or now Unix and Linux) instead. Just because it is something that can be done in the process of debugging doesn't make it a programming question (the question "how do you edit a file" is not a programming question - even if the file is named "hello.c").
