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?
I find I ask less questions now because I’m a better programmer and just visit the site less in general. I used to ask a lot. I actually don’t find that many duplicates though, usually when I have a question there isn’t already an answer… usually because when I have a question I’m doing something insane, I find I do that a lot lol.
Last time I wrote a question - probably a couple of months ago. Last time I posted a question … aaaaages ago.
By the time I get sufficiently frustrated to contemplate asking a question, I find the clarity that comes from stopping and trying to clearly lay out a question usually results in my figuring it out just before I hit post.
