We had a brilliant, visionary solution to this whole problem. It was called Stack Overflow. Real questions with actual answers, no faffing about. Tragically it has been dying a slow death for seven or eight years and as of now looks like it will just be milled into LLM food.

SO is definitely the best there’s ever been IMO. I’ll repeat myself a bit and say that I think the reason platforms like that are dying is because many people don’t want to make any effort and the expectation you try to be a good contributor is a negative for them.

I bet 50% of the problems I’ve ever had were self solved by trying to build an example that showed exactly what issue I was having.
