Comment on Stackoverflow Makes Hackers Lazy

Comments

There's apparently a balance between questions and answers, seeing that most answers on SO get answered. If that wasn't the case, I would feel like I need to answer questions if I ask them, to give something back to the community, but right now it's apparently not neccesary.

Also, the answers on SO are usually of such a high quality, that you learn a lot in the process. Often an answer will push me in another direction than I was going, because someone gave a better way to do something.
