Anyone know of an alternative to StackOverflow for asking tech questions? The community is super toxic and I'm looking for a place I can casually ask questions that might seem dumb without being hrangued for not providing an essay proof of the research I've already done. Or some sort of buddy system where I can ping a person of relevant experience those questions. It's better to poke someone's brain for a minute than to spin in circles reading docs/dead end articles sometimes.

Reddit maybe? Or if it's concise enough to fit, can also try here. Nothing against occasional technical questions in our data bowl

Reddit can be good but just as toxic as stackoverflow sometimes

Or you get downvoted quickly for a legitimate question but someone’s terrible medium article rises to the top

There's no alternative website. You can certainly be friends with other tech people and ask them stuff. Like, make friends with developers/software engineers. Also, ideally, you wouldn't be the only technical person on your team, so you could actually ask a coworker or, ha ha ha, your manager.
