Stack overflow is pretty great except people go there when they have a problem and it is majority beginner with minority advanced.

I'd like to see a place that promotes sharing sharing code snippets and curating it.

Almost like https://bootsnipp.com/ but entirely generic for code of different languages

Yes that's interesting. One thing that's always dogged me is that you can't really encapsulate snippets the same you can code.

For instance - it's easy to find a snippet for Quick sort, but if I want to add a user system to an app (something just as standard), that's like 30 snippets and across 4 files and it might not work.
