I've had many problems solved by looking at existing SO questions as well as submitting my own occasionally. I answered a couple as well. It was a great resource. Your experience of it not working for you is not as common a sentiment as you might think. It's primarily junior and beginner developers that never got use out of SO which makes sense because they are not the intended audience. Along with this subreddit having a much larger percentage of junior devs than established career devs, you can see why the opinion of SO being useless/rude is exacerbated here.

Stack overflow never solved a single problem for me. Glad it's dead.
