It just occured to me, that I haven’t asked anything on SO for a while now. It might even be years, the last I asked for help.
Most of the problems I come across were already faced by someone else.
Do you guys feel the same?

Last time I wrote a question - probably a couple of months ago. Last time I posted a question … aaaaages ago.
By the time I get sufficiently frustrated to contemplate asking a question, I find the clarity that comes from stopping and trying to clearly lay out a question usually results in my figuring it out just before I hit post.
Last time I asked was in 2019. I’ve asked 30+ questions total, only about half of those are ever answered. I’ve found that, the more experienced I get, the less my questions get answered on SO. Usually because my questions are well thought out, explained incredibly well, and the problem isn’t that I don’t understand something. It’s that my problem is one of a kind. E.g. no one else on the planet is having it. So of course I’m not going to get help for it.
yeah… that’s what I realized too.
If you ask basic questions - “google it yourself” … closed!
If you ask anything specific (like in your case) - it’s just crickets
