Unfortunately, Stackoverflow is still the quickest way to get good answers.
Expect to be shamed, downvoted, asked "why you would do that in the first place", even if your question is well formed and relevant. Your question may be closed, or marked as duplicate, or put "on hold".
Still, almost always, someone nice eventually helps.
Their "policy" to help with civility didn't work at all. Oh, and complaining about this on meta stack overflow will also get you shamed, downvoted, told that you can't take criticism.

The C2 Wiki is a great place. Incidentally named for Cunningham & Cunningham and also the first ever wiki[0].
It does feel more like a reference library though and not really a place for daily or newly developing information. I always enjoy any time I find myself there.

https://dev.to has a very interesting culture. It's far less toxic than HN or Reddit for discussions, and more suitable for blogging on tech topics than medium.

https://lobste.rs If you are looking for a great community and cool website. But it’s invite-only also there’s something called user tree which makes you responsible for invited users actions.

Maybe it's because I put time and effort into my questions, but everyone has been nice and informative (at worst they link to a similar question)
It's an ancient site about software development and design patterns. Frameworks come and go but engineering methodologies never die

2. Go to the Stack Overflow links.
3. If there are none, you go to the Github links.
4. If that doesn't help, you take a coffee break and work on something else when you come back.
