What kind of things you are talking about? I only use StackOverflow
undeliberately, when it pops out for a (mostly trivial) ramp-up code snippet
I could find in documentation, but I'm too lazy to dig in it.
Say for example things you have coded before but can't remember the syntax off hand. Might quickly look it up on StackOverflow. It's like having a pair coder with you.
You can quickly look it up on any general internet search engine. I don't see why StackOverflow is somewhat special here.
That's what I don't get either. StackOverflow is definitely a good website, but why limit yourself to one site when you can just google your problem and likely find more answers?
Sometimes you get stuck on things that are blockers and time consuming but there isn't a lot of learning value there.
Saving time on these kind of blockers means i can spend more time on learning concepts and higher level things that help me become a better coder.
