All of the great developers (or at least magnitudes more competent/experienced than me) I met spend very little time on the internet writing comments/answers.

This has been my experience as well.

There are good developers that are out there helping others, but that usually doesn't require tremendous skill as most of the questions are simple and can mostly be resolved by looking at the documentation.

The hard stuff usually comes from doing things that were never done before or going deep inside a system. This usually doesn't apply to many people and is hard to share.
