It just occured to me, that I haven’t asked anything on SO for a while now. It might even be years, the last I asked for help.

Most of the problems I come across were already faced by someone else.

Do you guys feel the same?

    This is not my experience at all.

    It seems we search for and look at different kinds of questions.

      The problem with stack overflow is that you need to know enough about the domain you’re working in to describe it accurately enough to search and find that previous great answer.

      If you have no clue, and then naively ask the no-clue kinds of questions, because you have no clue, then you get beaten over the head about not searching for the existing answer that you don’t know how to search for.
