Aside from the moderation experience (I don't have a sufficient score to moderate), this is entirely my SO experience too. The problem of questions going out of date is getting worse. I don't think SO is going anywhere though, the reality for me is that one of the reasons I've asked so few questions is because you can usually find the answer. The problem, is that the answer is found within a wall of noise and aggression.
The scoring system is fundamentally flawed because someone who is a very experienced programmer, but has not answered many questions, and has a score of 1, 10, 15, might appear to be another newbie, while someone with a score of 12k might have just got in first answering one of the git commands question and now has an enormous reputation from pasting from the manual. Not to criticse the person answering, but it just means your score is completely meaningless.
