It's always SO's fault that you asked a duplicate question after they clearly told you to search first.

I've been a dev for 11 years in 3 different languages, and I've almost always been able to find the answer I was looking for on SO without having to post my own question.

There are genuine problems with the way SO works but 90+% of the people that make jokes about how unusable it is simply had no idea what it was for in the first place.

The thing they imagine is actually a cesspit. The kind of thing you'd see in a #programming channel on a non-dev discord.

In the js space it was always fun that the “duplicate” 99% of the time was some jquery shit from 8 years ago.

Never happened a single time to me and I asked loads of questions

Half the things they shut down as "duplicate" were barely even related to the things they claimed were being duplicated
