What I found frustrating was my questions being marked as duplicate. Any iOS developers should know that things change rapidly between each version of iOS. Methods get deprecated, huge change can happen. When I'm asking a question about iOS 7, it is not a duplicate of the question asked about in iOS 6 even though it may look similar. Especially when all the top answers use methods that are deprecated. There are still some really nice people on there though and I'm forever thankful for their help.

I've had a similar experience, once tried to tag a question "jq" the json parser, auto renamed itself to "jquery", got a bunch of bizarre, you dont even need jquery answers none of which actually related to the question in the slightest. I think once you get to a certain level of software development, you need to start having these q and a discussions on a forum, mailing list, or my preferred irc. While they used to do very well on SO, and I'd love to see them back, I just don't see it happening. The hivemind is in quite the consensus on this stuff. I don't mean to be negative, I still find SO useful on a weekly basis, but its degraded into essentially a "please google this for me and give me a link to the right documentation I can't find myself" service with a bunch of historical wiki posts people attempt to keep up to date with comments. There is always prog exchange, but I find it a tad annoying to have these two side by side solutions fragmented in such a way. http://programmers.stackexchange.com/ http://programmers.stackexchange.com/
