EF decides I have properties, for example a Widget class in an entry and if there's no FK it creates a WidgetId property. This despite were Posgress (all lower case) and we say Key instead of Id. I know of no way to modify or configure this feature and asked how to turn it off. I was asked for a code sample, I said no, this is a general EF feature and I want to turn it off. I got told they can't help without a specific code sample, and they turned my question off!!!!
To be clear this happens even with auto generated code and is ALWAYS WRONG. I am happy to have an issue I need to sort out to access one property, based on auto generated nonsense, but I don't want NO ACCESS to a table because it will always invent columns in the SQL that I never claimed to exist.

In these parts, it's known as SNARK Overflow.

I have found a lot of inspiring tips and code pieces, but I agree that it is badly presented and sometimes a harsh tongue is there.
But see the Q&A section of CP - there are also big differences. I got sometimes bad critics for working solutions. 
And someone asked about his library but explicitly did accepted no redesign of his crap.

I feel SO has it's place in the interwebs. Both CP and SO have been useful to me on more than one occasion. I choose to ignore the rare snarky remark on account of all kinds of people free to use both platforms. I cases I can't ignore I report. That's about it.

Yup. SO is no more or less toxic than CP, Reddit, etc.

I use it if results come up in Google searches. The couple of times I submitted questions were... unsuccessful   .

To be fair… the same can happen on CP.
Reddit has been pretty good for me personally. Sometimes questions are a hit and miss there too. Some nerds love to pretend to know an answer they don’t. But that’s not site specific.

I’ve gotten more answers from SO Googling than any other website, bar none. Don’t see the reason for all the hate… which isn’t really helpful and compromises 90% of I see in the lounge.

SO is not friendly for people asking questions, especially if one of their "elites" insist that you post code for a non-code question (as you found out).
EF making assumptions is precisely why I hate and abhor ORMs of any description, and I rolled my own entity factory and DAL code (back in the day when I was still writing real code instead of this javascript crap I'm dealing with now). If you're interested and have the freedom to move away from EF, I've written some articles with regards to entity generation based on database contents, as well as a generic ADO assembly. It's all .net framework code, but you shouldn't have any probs moving it to .net core if that's a requirement.

How is SO any different than the IRC days back in the 90s? Or the BBS days in the 80s? We're supposed to be mature, professional seniors here and yet we still think the problem is specific to one site? You ever ask a question on CP? You'll need to do the same exact thing with phrasing. Same thing goes with managing devs IRL, or anyone for that matter (including non-devs).
And funny how people only come out of the wood works to complain. 
This is the part where you argue now...

Yes, and no.
It is a great repository of knowledge, and if you phrase your Google search correctly, it will often give you exactly what you want. OTOH, you must put on your asbestos underwear before asking a question there.

It's the same thing with Reddit, CP, etc. too though. Nerds will be nerds. Which means most will pretend to know something they don't (and deflect with insults) and they love to be angry and argue.
I mean, just look at the lounge... clearly they have unhappy people here too. Same goes for any tech site. We're supposed to be the mature, older group but I'd contest just older only.

I gave this a go (have not played for ages).
I have a standard sequence of words. First - 2 letters. Second and third - nothing. Fourth - two letters. It was then I realised that high contrast was not on, and I thought my letters were in the correct place because I am color blind. Got it in the fifth
