It might just be me, but I've found it substantially harder to find good Q/As on SO for newer topics and frameworks. You ask about a technology which existed in 2014 and there are high quality detailed posts all about it, with different viewpoints, upsides/downsides, etc. But you do the same with a technology popularized in 2017 (and I'm talking highly popular stuff) and yet slim pickings from SO.
- politician 9y agoI've seen that too, and strongly suspect that's because everyone that tries to post is beaten down by overzealous mods - so no one tries anymore. I don't. You have to perfectly craft questions to sneak past the fast-close and you-should-do-X karma farming traps. It's not worth the time trying to predict how today's trolls will close your question.
