    I don’t think it’s awkward, it’s kinda necessary.

    Because the people who are answering questions there are doing it for that ideal of having a knowledge repository. No one is helping you because they think you and your specific problem are so important to demand their time. Especially with very tricky errors.

      Not SO or it’s methods, I mean the human experience. It can be awkward to be new to it all and to feel the frustration/tunnel vision associated with being stuck on one problem… and then step back and have to dissect your issue, structure your question correctly, etc.

      It’s just how it is, for exactly the reasons you stated. You can capture every little problem people face in programming, or you can hone in on useful patterns in goals, problems, and solutions, and educate people on how to see these things.
