There are obvious exceptions however I have come to understand the greatness that is SO. All that is needed is a well-thought question with a little bit of work to show on the side.

I have a theory about why many complain about SO (please don't comment about this line, there are obviously exceptions):

There has been a ridiculous sense of entitlement with the growth and recent appeal of tech jobs in the past 5 years.

All this crap about "trolling" getting out of hand, not enough diversity (THE FIELD WAS PRIMARILY FILLED WITH NERDS OFTEN LACKING ANY SOCIAL SKILLS, no one else wanted to look or hang out with "that guy who is good with computers") etc.

It's a field that was mainly driven out of the desire and enjoyment that would be had messing around on CPU's. Therefore most of the good ones (among the diluted masses of "experts" nowadays) spent a great deal of time on these things. I'm not surprised that somebody would get pissed off if another came around and started asking for the answers to things without any real effort or drive being shown.

SO will forever be a poor resource for the huge incoming population of coders.
