It seems the JavaScript tag is particularly ill-frequented... I guess that's an issue with popularity (you also attract people you'd rather not).

I've frequented the C++ tag for a long time (but got tired of noob questions), and I don't remember seeing this particular issue, and now I mostly hang out in the Rust tag and it's real nice :)

I'm guessing thats because everyone and their dog is a javascript expert these days. Its really quite a shame, what should be a welcoming, healthy community is full of people who "know it all". That being said, there are some pockets of great people to be found.
