While it address the situation on stack overflow, this is a problem in general with communities:<p><pre><code>  -It&#x27;s my opinion that with enough time communities are 
   driven and shaped by the leaders this has at least the
   following two aspects
    -The leaders (assuming they were elected or emerged from
     the community) will strength the core values of the
     community (look at it as the identity).
    -Previous statement can also be read as: they will make
     everything they can from prevent the community to 
     become something they don&#x27;t like
</code></pre>
How do you prevent people with strong <i></i>insert here characteristic or property, e.g. technical<i></i> background and therefore after some time taking leadership from driving the community that way?<p>On the other hand (and I speak for myself here) when I started learning programming I were extremely frustrated with my first Java class for a desktop application, you copy paste something, modify it and then got into a situation where you ask for help.<p>Years later I did understand all the reasons why my approach was incorrect:<p><pre><code>  -you can place logic inside the class or outside of it
     -You later learn that code should not repeat itself
      something called *one source of truth*, how that
      drives code from instances to the parents from where 
      it its inherit
        -you later learn or discover that; that&#x27;s the same
         principle behind normalization on databases
          -then you learn that behavior respects the same
           rules and hence interfaces and contracts
             -then you can understand easily mef and maf for
              example
                -....
</code></pre>
for that basic point above I would have need to be told to read and learn about a lot of things, if you get to the other side, the simple question becomes a really long explanation and tutorship about something.<p>Maybe this exemplifies and proves the necessity that can be addressed by a new community, <i>Ask and learn</i> community with rules looking forward to address this kind of learning.
