    The good thing about stack overflow, (when your question isn’t marked as a duplicate of something completely unrelated), is that you accidentally learn random other things while browsing answers.

      Stack overflow is great for learning from posts that are marked as duplicate! I’ve learned the most from those lol

        The one very important thing I learnt on stack overflow was the XY problem. Most of my first questions were about how to make my idiotic solution work, instead of how to properly solve the problem.
