Hello Dev, I have a questions that, someone suggest me below, when I asked code help on dev.to:

I suggest using stackoverflow for this kind of questions, with code snippets and more detailed example.

This is true?

Thank you

The #help tag is designed for trouble-shooting and Stack Overflow-esque questions.

You may want to do this here instead of SO for some of the following reasons:

You're allowed to ask a hyper-specific question and seek your own answer, no need to generalize.
Someone here may give you a different perspective.
You may have more of a back-end-forth with different possibilities discussed.

Overall Stack's format is more strictly suited for this stuff, but it's welcome here if you use the #help tag.

We haven't made this all super clear but we'd like to do this better over time.

Sure and thank you information.

dev > stack overflow. 😻

Nup 😍

... if the question is not closed right away 😝

No, it's not true.
