I feel like I find more useful answers in GitHub issues (also through google) now than a year or two ago

  I have the same experience for anything hyper-library or distro-specific - like "why is x package not working on alpine 3.whatever". More generally, I use async Python features and libraries, which are developing and changing very quickly. Most stack overflow answers on things like this are at least partially outdated, many more-so. I tend to go to prominent async libraries source code & Github issues to see how the leading users of async features are doing it.

  SOP used to be to direct devs to Stack Overflow and keep GH Issues clear. I wonder if this switch was intentional or inevitable as devs reported "maybe a bug? Halp!" I agree though, far more searches lead to a helpful Issue thread than in the past - and more often than SO at least for my searches.

  Nothing like the Github repo saying "do not use stackoverflow for help, their answers are out of date" I love reading the docs and using issues.

  I think this could be a function of what you have been working on. If you're working on cutting edge/niche things, github might be better. For good ol' tech stack, Stackoverflow is still golden.
