I'm a new developer, and a lot of my questions at this stage of learning are conceptual--eg. I want to know if the way I'm planning to approach a task is smart, or the result of a beginner's level of experience.

I've asked a few questions that receive up votes and good answers, and even a few favorites--but I don't see many conceptual questions on Stackoverflow. I know it's pushing the boundary of subjective questions (which are too prone to opinionated debate,) but I learn so much more when an experienced developer shares his paradigm... rather than a specific fix to my code, or sharing an esoteric method.

So Stackoverflow--sharing your methodology, or just syntax and debugging help?
