Real experts aren't waiting on the internet to be the first response to lazyweb: they publish blog posts, papers, books, and tomes of knowledge, which are peer-reviewed and revised. Experts who have something valuable to add will eventually speak up, without being asked. I guarantee that answers to such low-quality questions primarily get low-quality responses. It's the Tragedy of the Commons of discussion sites.

I recently had a beginner question about actors and persistence addressed by carl hewitt here. I think you underestimate the kindness of extremely knowledgeable people ( and HN )

It's real easy to, even not being lazy, not know how to ask the question right to be able to find those tomes of knowledge.
I know what both a mutex and a spin lock are because I’m a developer myself but very much enjoy having my mind blown by someone on here who may have actually written the scheduler for Windows or Linux or be an expert of some sort.
