For areas that aren't ultra new the space of good questions is kinda saturated. This is less true for answers - even with old questions with accepted answers you can gain points by providing a better answer. Not necessarily better in terms of pure information but maybe better edited or explained more clearly. And obviously you can still rack points by quickly answering the bad questions (before they get deduped or closed). Disclaimer: this is only about my experience, not implying anything about Gordon Linoff - I have zero knowledge about his record on SO.
