The validation system is extremely off-putting. I have been working on some specialized tools for years so I could have answered some very precise questions with good confidence. However, the system was always there to detrust me and I was not going to spend hours to go through their hoops for an answer that takes me 10 min to redact. So instead I’ll post it on Reddit or a gist hopping people will be able to discover it.

Off-putting it is. Still an important tool for finding actual answers I need for my work.
Useful for me too. But I wish it was more opened for people who would just want to answer a couple of times a year, community can sort it out.
Oh god
There there. I’m not quite god himself yet although I have over 1000 points on stack overflow.
DUPLICATED, CLOSED, etc.
Joke aside, for an open question I’d prefer posting on Reddit/Lemmy/forums to have an open answer.
SO is too strict on its policy.
That’s clearly not the type of “programming question” mentioned in OP tho
