Stack Overflow is a question and answer web site for developers. It features questions and answers on topics in computer programming. Stack Overflow is the right hand of every professional and enthusiast software developer, with its huge community of developers it is the number one tool for solving problems and gaining knowledge. Stack Overflow is free to use, just be sure first to check if the answer is already there before you ask one or you will get some negative votes.

Uh, so this is basically an ad for ur website
Thanks for sharing your tools of preference.
Some notes, that reflect my personal opinion...
StackOverlow
Be careful with StackOverflow, more often then not the accepted or most upvoted answer is not the best solution, sometimes is even a bad one. This happens because who asked doesn't know much, thus it accepts the first answer that works for him or that belongs to the member with more reputation points.
Github
While the most used and the one that gives more visibility, I prefer Gitlab, because its much more rich in its feature set, and have a better UI in my opinion.
I agree just copy/paste technique from StackOverflow can be problematic
If code is not tested/optimized at all.
Source Control interfaces are similar to each other at this point in time so it just matter of preference. But it is fine as long you use usual GIT cli :D
Looks like rofl
Suggesting an alternative to Stackoverflow and it's vision is to be an alternative.
