Alternatively, as you get better and deal with complex issues and have more sophisticated thoughts, you realize that SO can't answer the majority of your problems.

That's what I've learned about SO: it's fine for popcorn questions, but for the in-depth knowledge and discussions... meh.

That's a very fair point. Overall the deeper answers are probably more in the books or at conferences, not in blogs and online forums.
