Hacker News new | ask | show | jobs

I also noticed that simple questions somehow get higher popularity. If you ask something very specific to your problem, chances are this question won't be answered and also will be downvoted. So people rather answer "how to find an object in JS array" rather than "I have this weird error in X library, how to fix it?". But in my opinion, basic stuff is not what you face with in everyday job. It's all these unexpected errors, bugs and lack of documentation, what makes you Google it. In this sense, GitHub Issues does a better job than SO.

I have never seen GitHub Issues in a search result. It seems like it is for bug reporting in personal projects. Why would it help with other people's errors?
