The real issue is employers hiring folks who's only skill is gluing together things in SO. So frequently I see people asking others to do the real work for them, because their task wasn't on stackoverflow (or a basic google). Those who know what to do aren't hanging around on SO because we know what we're doing and we don't have time to do other peoples' job for them.
