This guy is suffering from the "I work on easy stuff" problem. I used to be like him, thought there was nothing new to learn, if something feels a bit strange, just ask someone.
But what I've actually come to realize is this: StackOverflow simply does not answer any of my questions. I probably suck at asking questions, but by the time I find even a half decent solution to my problem on stackoverflow, I've already gotten through it using the old school way.
I'm probably using stackoverflow all wrong ... then again, I find it an invaluable when I'm learning a new language and have a bunch of low-level questions. In fact, I don't even have to answer them, they're already answered and I just have to find them.
