The problem is a lot of people misinterpret what StackOverflow is supposed to be - a repository of programming-related questions&#x2F;answers that are useful to more than one person.<p>Most questions asked these days are duplicates, syntax errors or are answered in the relevant online documentation - I really think there should be online courses on &#x27;How to find the right thing to search for&#x27; because it would help newbies so much, and prevent them from having to interact with the mean&#x2F;rude side of StackOverflow (which is proving hard to get rid of despite all the initiatives).
