Title: I just wanted to sing the praises of StackOverflow.com for a second.  I wanted to put together a custom query to display a few key metrics for my social news site.  The folks on IRC ignored a polite request and I found a few folks willing to help for $50/hour. Both of these were expected, sensible outcomes.<p>StackOverflow came through with the answer in about 15 minutes.<p>http://stackoverflow.com/questions/696289<p>The impressive part, to me at least, is that the initial answer posted wasn't yet easy enough for me to follow.  I asked a few questions in the comments, more detail was added, I asked a few more questions and came back in a few hours and a copy-and-paste code snippet was waiting for me.<p>A+
