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?

Some of my saltiness comes from the fact that I tried to answer questions a few times, but told I wasn't worthy enough to participate in the conversation, and so I was confused by the system. Also, I saw people answering with lots of points, but their answers were trash and I couldn't impact that response/point gathering, and just made me think it was just another gamified system, and engineers love to game a system. :)
