DUPLICATED, CLOSED, etc.

Joke aside, for an open question I'd prefer posting on Reddit/Lemmy/forums to have an open answer.

SO is too strict on its policy.

for an open question

That's clearly not the type of "programming question" mentioned in OP tho

There there. I'm not quite god himself yet although I have over 1000 points on stack overflow.

The validation system is extremely off-putting. I have been working on some specialized tools for years so I could have answered some very precise questions with good confidence. However, the system was always there to detrust me and I was not going to spend hours to go through their hoops for an answer that takes me 10 min to redact. So instead I'll post it on Reddit or a gist hopping people will be able to discover it.

Off-putting it is. Still an important tool for finding actual answers I need for my work.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago

Useful for me too. But I wish it was more opened for people who would just want to answer a couple of times a year, community can sort it out.
