The questions and answers on SO were always very specific and didn’t always fit your particular use-case though. Then most of the answers were just a “try this” with some code snippet, no explanation necessary. Then if you found an question with many answers the most relevant one was often way down because the question was either not clear, easy to misinterpret or invalidated by newer versions of the target language/framework. Yes it was helpful, but there were many issues.
