When you start out, you’re confident “bah, any decent answer on StackOverflow has at least 1,000 upvotes”
.....
A few months in, you realize that mostly only the the “help how i code” questions have thousands of upvotes. There are tons of useful answers in the hundreds range
.....
Until you finally become a “senior” engineer. You try to drag one last sip from the StackOverflow Slurpee, and you get nothing but ice and disappointment
