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 think I've asked only two or three questions there, ever, and those were on topics obscure enough that the answers ended up coming from me.

There was a time when I answered other people pretty regularly, but that was more than a few years ago. I stopped mainly because I'm not very comfortable giving them free labour so they can be the gatekeepers of community knowledge.

I wonder if anyone is working on a fediverse Q&A platform.
