Stackoverflow is a good language resource for me -- if I don't know the language I'm working in as well yet, it's invaluable. For non-beginner questions I don't find your percentages to be accurate, apologies. In the latter case SO (and hell sometimes even googling the problem) are unhelpful, and whatever is on SO that is related isn't applicable enough to be helpful. In these cases sometimes I find myself asking SO questions, but more often than not after about ten minutes of searching I go offline in my quest and find a senior+ engineer who has a free moment to ask.
