Well, the idea that most people forgot or didn't realize (including me) is actually StackOverflow is a wiki so you can edit and fix other people's answers. You might need some reputations points before you can do that though.
The idea was to get the definitive answer as in Wikipedia. It was a good time when SO came out, afterwards it degraded in quality like anything else in universe.
- explainplease 8y ago> StackOverflow is a wiki so you can edit and fix other people's answers. Your edit was rejected because: [x] It deviates from the original intent of the post [x] It doesn't preserve the goals of the post's owner That's what I got for updating an answer that was 3 years out-of-date. I had to post mine as a separate answer. That was 3 years ago, so my answer is now 3 years old (still accurate) and the original is now 6 years old. It has more than twice as many upvotes as mine, which languishes at the bottom of the page. I have better things to do than labor for the wonks-run-wild at StackOverflow.
