99% of you wouldn't do shit if not SO. Admit it

Yes, your point being?

So what.

Trivia: The Stack* sites, largest help fora for Linux users are all ran from Windows Server IIS.

I read documentation you pleb.
Googling problems is for when you don't have time to learn how to do things.

Eh it just comes up in google searches.
If not for google I'd be using the docs.
Or the textbooks, but the problem is that I can't just ctrl-F my textbook.

Use the index

SO is the only community on there left that is completely run by asswipes.

The entire website is toxic. Constant threads about people saying why are people saying bad shit about this site and then getting bullied for an opinion.

Still waiting for an alternative for most of the stacks unfortunately.

Before SO I tended to get results from either forums or expert sex change. Or I just read the API docs or a book.

More like stackoverblow/. Loll!!!HAhaha SCOrE!!!!

>>52451772
I wonder, does the stackoverflow sysadmins, fron and back end devs etc etc, public their daily struggle questions so the users using it can answer them ?!

I'm not a software dev. But I spend a lot of time using Python (Numpy/Scipy). Recently I started tinkering with tkinter.

Stackoverflow is a great resource for me. All of the stupid basic python questions I have are always answered there (they tend to be to first results in a google search). For more engineering/numpy/scipy related questions SO is sometimes useful. But there are times when I need to refer to the mathworks website as Matlab solutions are sometimes pretty close to the numpy/scipy solutions.

The stackexchange sites can also be useful.

It often shows up when I google specific things.
But I mostly rely on the official docs.

Maybe because I started fucking around with computers before I had internet access, I can appreciate a good manual.

I'd literally browse references just for fun, learning about all the neat things you can do and how they work. That magic is kinda lost now.

That site's almost useless. It's rapidly going Wikipediaesque: when it comes up in my searches (it seems to have largely replaced the equally bad expertsexchange), far more questions have been closed for being in the wrong forum than usefully answered.

Forums are generally equally useless.

There are still several good resources. I have mixed opinions of the distro, but Arch Linux has a Wiki which represents higher-quality documentation than pretty much any other UNIX-like distro. It's not years or even decades out of date like several others.

It's mostly direct API docs, the odd book, research papers and direct interaction with other real live human beings for me now.
