A Senior Developer working mostly with PHP and JavaScript, with a bit of Python thrown in for good measure, all on Linux. My tooling is simple, it's GitLab and JetBrains where possible.
I have to admit, I do like finding things with poor documentation. Mainly because I have to figure stuff out, and then I can write a blog post about it. My best blog post is one I wrote a year ago (published a year ago tomorrow), and it only exists because documentation was lacking. I use it whenever I need to remind myself how that bit of code works, because I know it's right.
But with StackOverflow, yes, there's a lot of very experienced people on there who forget that they too needed to learn, and that not everyone knows what to search for. Though I understand why they down-vote for things with a near exact title match.
