I had a similar experience back then. I actually grew out of needing it. I would just go to the site, type out my question and answer it myself when I dug in to the details of asking a good question.

I'm not gonna sit here and say you asked a poor question, because answers/commenters can be jerks. However, learning how to write software is hard, and the idea that a magic site can answer any question you need to make 6 figures is ridiculous. The tough love I received on SO made me write better questions and think more atomically.

I have had this conversation with my wife many times, who is working her first development job: "Yes the people can be cruel, but there's no better way to see the obvious gaps you have in your expertise than to expose yourself to them."
