The post by Derrils appears to quote this link (a very entertaining page, although I only read one or two posts so far):
Why do some people hate Stack Overflow? - Quora
https://www.quora.com/Why-do-some-peopl ... k-Overflow
And references this question:
javascript - How do I make a menu active by default using a CSS-based responsive menu in pure CSS based menu? - Stack Overflow
https://web.archive.org/web/20161111145 ... nu-in-pure
Which had some awful initial comments and downvoting, as can be seen in the pictures on Quora, but which subsequently got a good number of upvotes before being eventually deleted!?
Asking AHK questions on Stack Overflow probably isn't too bad, but you'd get a faster better answer here. It seems few Stack Overflow questions get upvotes, (a) how many people will see it (I get ~100, more for the more obvious questions), (b) how many people will think oh this is such a special question I'll upvote it, (c) the more popular the language, the more likely it'll be taken down as duplicate.
Asking other sorts of questions, or adding question tags that might bring in users from other programming languages, that might be less nice.
It's a chore to write code on Stack Overflow, and I'm worried something awful will happen whenever I do anything on Stack Overflow, e.g. a minor edit to an old post. The best-case scenario, editing an answer leads to your answer getting re-edited 5 times by mods, and it's a bit of a chore to just click Yes on all the edits.
I like Stack Overflow more or less, but the experience is probably the worst of any website in existence.

(By reputation do you mean will asking AHK questions help you to get Stack Overflow reputation points, or will it allow you to say on your CV, I'm a regular at Stack Overflow, to help get jobs? Cheers.)
