It just occured to me, that I haven't asked anything on SO for a while now. It might even be years, the last I asked for help.

Most of the problems I come across were already faced by someone else.

Do you guys feel the same?

Funny story: when SO first started, started answering questions in domains I had experience in. The gamification was fun. After a year, questions got repetitive, so stopped.

A few years later. Googling a tech question. Top answer. Checked. Looks good.

Scroll down. It's my own answer from way back when.

First time I felt old.
