Definitely. The best thing StackOverflow taught me is that I don't need StackOverflow. Sure there are some exceptional cases, such as when things just Will. Not. Work. when getting started with a new language/framework/whatever, but I learned to make use of documentation, Google, and StackOverflow's search in place of asking the internet to be my personal debugger. I only ask a question as a last resort, and sure sometimes it gets flagged (oh no, the horror!), or people in the comments assume I don't know anything about anything (maybe, but I tend to know at least slightly more than they take me for). But as a whole, it's a very healthy community and I tend to learn something new with each visit I make.
