See, this is why I chose the HN title.

As soon as a site adds rep, there come the accusations of rep whoring. I don't care about my SO rep, as long as it's not libellous or something. I don't need a job, I don't want a job. I want (in this specific case) to teach.

What if people don't know they have a problem?

If SO becomes a standard destination (and it appears to be from watching the devs around me), then what is not on SO / accessible to Google might as well not exist.

Re: the letting others answer. Let them edit my post instead, if they think there's a problem with it.

Idk about you but my blogs return quite quickly on google if you search for something I wrote about. This seems like a more appropriate outlet for this kind of thing. Of course if the dev's around you have forgotten how to search... well I doubt they are worth what they're paid.

You need enough rep to edit a post, but really the question isn't the problem. It's the fact that you didn't actually need an answer.

I'd much rather have a SO question as a search result than a blog post.

Blogs are often littered with other information, have weird color schemes, don't always have proper code display, aren't editable by somebody who finds an error, sometimes have spam etc etc

I'd much rather have excellent documentation, and less crappy defaults so I don't have to ask so many questions, or do as much search, or blog as many "how to's", but we can't all get our wishes.
