I think there's also a distinction between "what's the best way to do X in Y language" (which I would call educational) and "please help me find the bug in this block of code" (which I would call operational). Any platform that invites the former, inevitably gets a lot of the latter. It's never great to feel like random strangers are demanding that you do their job for them. And often those "find my bug" questions are not at all illuminating for other readers. Like, knowing that this particular person misspelled the variable name or forgot a semicolon is not going to be make you a better coder. And I think we've all seen some variation of "questions" like "please to write code to sort this list and insert it into Salesforce" or whatever, where it's clearly a simple job that someone just wants the Internet to write for them.
