I don't know a platform today that has better content than SO for technical questions. My code throughput have reduced a lot in recent years with changing roles and I prefer reading the actual documentation, I am no longer solving a immediate/specific problem. Even then I still click search hits on SO few times a week, and most times after clicking through a few questions I can find what I need. Your(others) experience will vary from my mine of course, but I don't see anyone attempting a better model or better content short of source documentation .

Like Google their main competitor is their former selves. As the mix of us who knew early versions of Google and Stack overflow gets diluted year by year by new users who don't know how well these systems used to work this will become less and less of a problem for them so they can sleep well at work. Until someone disrupts them. I'm happy to say it feels we are getting close to that moment now ;-)
