This site is in many ways a better alternative to question sites like the Software Engineering stack exchange site. Someone can ask quite conceptual questions and have a (small but increasing) chance to actually get a conversation out of it. Instead of being chastised for asking too broad or off-topic of a question -- and this often due to moderator ignorance on the subject more than the question.
SO itself is still amenable to very factual questions. "How do I fix error XYZ123?" or "Why does Dictionary not guarantee item order?" But all others will be scolded.

Yeah, had a lot of these same ideas.
