Stack Overflow is great for a different reason
If you have been learning programing for a while you already know Stack Overflow, the best forum to ask question and learn about anything to do with programing.
And yes, they have a full metaverse of communities from 3D modeling quantum computing (visit stackexchange.com/sites to see them all).
If you know any of those sites you already know that they are great as is it
So what are you talking about hidden advantages?
Stack overflow is full of programmers that doesn't care about you*, and some of them are even a bit toxic some times and that is the best thing.
Nobody cares about you or care about been nice to you so when you ask a question you have to ask it the right way, as written on the website's How do I ask a good question? page
"Pretend you're talking to a busy colleague and have to sum up your entire question in one sentence"
If you do anything wrong you will get downvotes (dislikes), reports and others will tell you that your question is wrong.
What is so good about that?
Some of you might have already gotten the point, learning how to ask question the right way can help you insanely. When asking online, a friend, teacher or colleague, you will be able to get better results.
Sometimes I see a question on the internet and I just don't want to invest my time trying to understand the question because you started giving me the full backstory of your game you are making when all you need to learn they is a function not called properly, and I can't even try to help you is you don't attach all the necessary code.
How can I get better?

*obviously an exaggeration, but the point still stands even with nice people
