I gave up asking questions on Stack Overflow at least a decade ago. Questions get closed as dupes, even when you mention them right there in the original question. Answerers want to believe that every non-trivial question is an X/Y problem. Answerers will nitpick irrelevant technicalities instead of answering the question. Stuff like that. My biggest problem with SO right now is that the most popular questions are outdated and temporally incorrect. A big problem when you are trying to learn a programming language that has evolved considerably in the last 10 years. Go ahead and take 3 common beginner-level tasks in Javascript and Google them. The first result on at least two of them will have been last updated in, say, 2012. Even if the modern answer is there, it won't be the accepted answer.
