In my experience, Stack Overflow is only good for "language lawyer" questions. Any straightforward practical questions get some variation of "stfu n00b" and any non-straightforward practical questions get ignored.
Example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69111001/automatic-file-buffer-flushing-when-file-opened-by-another-program-only-if-oth https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69111001/automatic-file-...
- hnthrowaway0315 5y agoI think reddit is more suitable for specific topics. Stackoverflow has the issue that you simply cannot send an open ended question because it is "opinion-based", however most questions I encounter in work, once I get over the basic language stuff, are open ended questions. For example: - Given these constraints, how would you design you system? - Can you please give a few examples of previous work done on topic X?
