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?

When the number one result in Google is a site answering my exact question with "did you try googling it first?" I have no incentive to interact with that site.

i got that once, except it was my exact question with no response at all, then i noticed it was me that posted the question 4 years earlier.

i used to use stack overflow a lot back in 2007/08 but i cant remember the last time i actually got an answer.

Ha I once googled some question, found a great answer in some random forum and was like about to write a reply saying what a great answer it was when I realised it was me, like 10 years ago.
