need an answer to something in computerscience? stackoverflow
also reddit.com is helpful
quora if you want biased answers
This website focuses more on policing how you ask the question, rather than actually taking the time to answer your specific problem. I asked an extremely specific question about variables resetting, and how many if/else statements I need.
Find somewhere else to get your answers.
I don't like Stack Overflow. My questions never get answered, and overall I don't find much questions answered at all.
I didn't like StackOverflow, I hate it! they put so many downvotes and if you are a person learning to use it or to programming you will be blocked because you receive too many downvotes the only persons that receive upvotes are the person that joined to StackOverflow 10 years ago!
Terrible. Have a question you want answered? Well too bad! Get downvoted!
So many valuable explanations of solutions to common problems. I literally use it every day
If you want to be troll fodder for the moderators and such, go there. Some stuff is weak code seeded by hackers. If you ask a question that doesn't have a text book answer, it gets down voted. It used to be a nice site till the trolls took over as moderators, and down vote or delete questions.
This site tries to cater to the programming community, but its a gimmick to try to sell you "advice" that can be obtained free.
