The one advantage of actually trying to use SO was that the fear of asking a question usually made me do so much research that I'd solve my issue in the process of fully describing it.
That did also make the community lose out on the answer though.
You can write a self-answered question.
Knowing SO you’d get marked as a duplicate of your own question, then deleted.
A question can't be a duplicate of itself. There is no reason to make up reasons why SO is bad when there are plenty of real reasons.
