One of my biggest annoyances with stack overflow is the somewhat brutal closing of questions which are legitimately different to those you are then forced to read through after the only reason you posted in the first place was because those threads didn't provide the answers you wanted. Development is fast paced and especially in say the JavaScript world where questions and answers go out of date within weeks rather than years (hello python). There is huge validity in allowing a stack of repetition, if anything using a great search engine like Algolia you yield better results as your get a bigger footprint to index and acquire key word knowledge.
I fully understand the closing of a "how do I print to console in language X" but in real life the same questions are asked millions of times, why should we create an alien environment that doesn't mimick real world behaviour. This for me is the key difference between a community and the alternatives which I have now stopped reading.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
