I am looking for sites where you go for solutions.

    Unfortunately, Stackoverflow is still the quickest way to get good answers.

    Expect to be shamed, downvoted, asked "why you would do that in the first place", even if your question is well formed and relevant. Your question may be closed, or marked as duplicate, or put "on hold".

    Still, almost always, someone nice eventually helps.

    Their "policy" to help with civility didn't work at all. Oh, and complaining about this on meta stack overflow will also get you shamed, downvoted, told that you can't take criticism.

    Try: http://wiki.c2.com/

    It's an ancient site about software development and design patterns. Frameworks come and go but engineering methodologies never die

    https://dev.to has a very interesting culture. It's far less toxic than HN or Reddit for discussions, and more suitable for blogging on tech topics than medium.

    1. Search Google.

    2. Go to the Stack Overflow links.

    3. If there are none, you go to the Github links.

    4. If that doesn't help, you take a coffee break and work on something else when you come back.

    https://lobste.rs If you are looking for a great community and cool website. But it’s invite-only also there’s something called user tree which makes you responsible for invited users actions.
