Starkium5386yI've been to stack over 3 times, copied one thing in college. Haven't used it since. I just make shit up as I go...
-
I barely use stackoverflow, a lot of times solutions don't work. And at the company I work we use a lot of internal frameworks where you can not ask on stackoverflow.
-
iceman9276yI mean stackoverflow is nice and very useful when you start using a new technology or get back to one that you haven't used for a while, but if you constantly need it then you're certainly doing something wrong
-
StackOverflow is nice for very specific and elaborated questions or just to recall the basics of a language... Other than that I prefer reading the docs of what I use most of the time.
-
Stack overflow is normally more of a shortcut to a solution than a solution itself.
It's good to see what people have tried and what people recommend, but my issues are normally specific enough that all i get from SO is new keywords to use or sites to visit in my search. -
Well, if api documentatons were not so useless most of the time, I wouldn‘t need to look up things in stack overflow...
SO is mostly that for me. The missing documentation. -
mojo20127706yThen you never were a developer, not even a programmer (code monkey) I would say ... sorry pal
-
I only use SO on very specific stuff that has more to do with SysOp. For development I do not need it.
... Well, sometimes for Perl, but there PerlMonks is a far better resource... -
