I find that a surprising amount of people actually don't use SO where I work for anything beyond simple things. It's usually faster (and safer) to ask a 'local expert' first.

So if I encounter something I'm unfamiliar with, asking someone locally is better than spending time finding a solution on Stackoverflow that might not be what I want.
