Stack Overflow had two main value propositions for me. Either questions about standard way/community agreed way to accomplish something which has multiple aproaches, like "what is the most common way to take out the first element or null from a list".
I suspect moderators was very careful of allowing such questions to multiply on the site.
The other value I found was in fringe questions, like how do you access the model object of the value of a django form field from the template environment. If there even is an answer, the answer will hopefully point me to some non-documented way to accomplish what I want, or give hints to what kind of ugly hack I need to create. Those question don't seem to have much moderations applied to them at all.
