I love the other .stackexchange forums. These types of questions and the answers they engender are great. I've seen some great discussions on aviation, ux, and math over the years. Long detailed answers with cool insights. A few hours ago, there was another HN post from the latin one.

But (for me), the same is no longer true for stackoverflow. I used to participate on it both as an asker and an answerer. But something happened. It felt like it was a takeover by ever pedantic moderators. Now I participate there only rarely.
