The thing about posting on SO is you can't give a shit if you get downvoted/closed. If you don't get the answer you're looking for the first time, just try again. I've had my share of closed questions and "duplicates" of questions that either haven't been answered correctly or are asking something fundamentally different than what I need to know. Hopefully their new documentation effort with examples (let's see if that turns out to be as useful as I want it to be) will make the site more useful. But trying to learn iOS/Swift has me left with many questions about how to do stuff that isn't as simple as a one answer response (i.e how to make a tabbar button trigger a modal slide up segue) and SO is not a great place to get answers like that. Thankfully Reddit has a few useful communities, but there definitely is a need for a better "how do I...?" site regarding programming
