Naw. People have to WANT it / need it.. and the culture has to be there.
I've done different jobs. The culture of sharing / teaching / open source and etc is a thing in the dev community.
It's a completely alien concept to many jobs.
It's help that if someone asks "hey I need to change X to Y" you can show code that everyone agrees changed X to Y. It makes a community where people present things very easy to manage / obvious value. Other jobs don't have that. Teacher's ask "Hey this asshole parent won't go away." ... there's no verifiable answer.
The culture and usefulness of such things are just not there for other jobs.
Someone building a platform isn't going to make it that. -
Those other professions rely on subreddits or facebook groups. If they wanted, they could also make a no code app/website pretty easily. We just have those communities because they’re built on our craft lol.

However stack overflow is mostly a place where people with tiny penises compensate by becoming mods

@nonox literally every interaction I've had with the moderators on stackoverflow.
recently one of them took my deja vu comment for the 2nd time, and acted like i was complaining about 'the quality free help that you think you're entitled to'
i had commented about how it seemed I like the channel had bots in it.
so its the jumpy fucked up trouble making pretending to be left assholes they get on there that just like banning people or bugging people about grammar or what is subject matter that is appropriate. like on worldbuilding I saw the most fucked up story, but I create a question related to escaping a scenario where everything is tied down, and they censor it.

Have you ever wondered why programmers have so many strong communities like devRant, StackOverflow, Reddit ect. and no other professions has such communities?
Becoz we haven't built one for them.
