Ask HN: What community do you ask dev questions to?

Recently I asked a question on Stack Overflow and it was closed due to it being opinion based. This isn't entirely wrong, I wanted to know how people were approaching a problem and the answer may depend on subjective factors. However it struck me that at this stage of my knowledge most things are opinion and not a matter of fact (more art than science), so Stack Overflow just doesn't serve my needs anymore.

In the wake of this, I wondered what forums/places people use to ask other people about development/architecture/coding questions and to solicit advice from other developers.

The obvious answers to this seem to have some headwinds: Twitter seems good only if you have a minimum viable amount of followers, and HN always seemed more geared towards news than advice.
