When you've learned that many of the Stack Overflow solutions from years ago are outdated and are now using deprecated/removed functionality or are considered bad style today, but search engines keep digging them up because they were once popular. #programming

Recently, I also noticed that often the solution to a problem simply emerges when writing the question into StackOverflow. There, you normally don't post your entire source code (if you're not a beginner at least), and while producing a minimal working example, and thus reducing my problem to the very core, I sometimes find the solution on my own. If it's not a too specific problem, I'd then just publish the question and answer it on my own, just for future reference.
