Saying Goodbye to StackOverflow
- jamesfinlayson 4y ago> Stack Overflow is a toxic cesspool that is utterly useless outside of historical answers Mostly sums it up - I've had luck with a number of my AWS questions getting good answers (from AWS employees I suspect) but I've definitely had well-written questions closed because some moderator didn't take the time to actually read what I'd written, and I don't think there was a way to appeal it either.
- nadermx 4y agoI recently had someone close my question because I answered it, and linked to it in another question. So they assumed the question I linked had the answer.
- al2o3cr 4y agoShorter OP: "The place I rely on for triage on my personal projects (because who wants randos spamming questions on GH, amirite?) and for free technical support (no answers posted since 2021, but about a question a month) simply isn't providing the service I pay nothing for!"
- profile53 4y agoYour comment sounds exactly like the sentiment you see on stack overflow and is a big part of the problem the OP is complaining about. It’s abrasive, unhelpful, and if that’s all you have to say on this topic, better left unsaid.
- tony-allan 4y agoComments included a reference to https://you.com/ https://you.com/. On first glance it seems like a useful tool.
- kiyundai 4y agoSame issue than one of the guy in the thread, when I was fresh I didn't really need to ask the basic questions as most of the time they were already answerd. And then when I felt confident to reply to some questions, The system just shut me down for not having enough point. Never tried again and just kept it as a read-only source since that time (like 7-8 years ago)
