I have personally always been kind of against using StackOverflow as a sole source for things. It is very often a good pointer, but it's always a good idea to cross-check with primary sources. Otherwise you get all sorts of interesting surprises, like that Razer Synapse + Docker for Windows debacle. Not to mention that you are technically not allowed to just copy-paste stuff from SO.

Sure you can. Over the last ten years, I have probably copied at least 100 snippets of code from StackOverflow in my corporate code base (and included a link to the original code). The stuff that was published before Generation AI Slop started is unbeatable as a source of code snippets. I am a developer for internal CRUD apps, so we don't care about licenses (except AGPL due to FUD by legal & compliance teams). Anything goes because we do not distribute our software externally.
