Top 0.5% SO'er here, but the funniest thing that I have had happen to me - and it has happened more than once - is I google for an answer to a programming problem I am having, get brought to stack overflow, and find the accepted answer to the question is one i myself wrote years before.
- tigger0jk 5y agoSmaller contributor here, so when I googled for a specific flash log location it was my own EDIT to an existing answer that I needed.
- burlesona 5y agoYeah this has happened to me at least a few times as well, it always makes me laugh :)

- mirrorlake 5y agoThis exact thing has happened to me, and it was both a surreal and wonderful experience to realize that I had helped myself across a huge gap of time (3+ years). It provides an even better motivation to help others with technical problems online: we can forget things that we're experts at. It underlines why it is so important to have natural language descriptions of problems that point to correct answers.
