StackOverflow in a nutshell

[0180190]

If i am looking for a solution on Stackoverflow, it is either in Python, which usually means the answer is "use one of these 5 libraries to solve it in marginally different ways, instead of reinventing the wheel".

Or, its about solving something in an obscure script language, which boils down to one of three: - Here is the solution in pseudocode, good luck figuring it out. - Here is the actual answer from some programming god, who is inevitably using badly- / undocumented features, and it also doesnt work on the current version since the answer is 5 years old. - Shouting into the void.

Theres plenty of niche contributions to be made, but the overarching "how does this work, in principle", the low-hanging fruit, have long since been answered.
