I've never used it, so I wouldn't know, but it seems like the kind of thing which is a reason not to use it.
Some colleagues of mine also say that the tools they use require that everything have a primary key, even when it provides no benefit, and I tell them to get better tools.

From my perspective (which I've shared here on more than one occasion), SO is great for small(-ish) snippets that just so happen to directly address what you came searching for. But it's not the place to ASK questions, unless you went in early and are already part of the clique and have the reputation points (or whatever system it is they're using). It's too much of a catch-22 to be newbie-friendly.
And without the equivalent of a lounge, it's not the place to make friends and become part of the clique either. Overall, I find it very unwelcoming. At least on CP, if you have a question, as long as you ask it intelligently and demonstrate you've put some effort into it (aka NOT "do my homework for me"), you'll get real, useful help.
I've found many answers on SO, typically as links Google provided as responses to my searches. But as I'm writing this, suddenly I realize I now tend to use ChatGPT to get code snippets, and as a result, haven't gone back / been redirected to SO for quite a while. ChatGPT undoubtedly scrapes SO for its info, but as long as it can provide usable answers, I find myself having no reason to go back to SO.
Recent events here on CP notwithstanding, personally I see SO as being the one with the more limited future. There, I said it.

I have found SO very useful, but I don't ask questions, I just search for answers and then compare the sometimes myriad results until I find the inspiration to produce a result relevant to me. Failing that, since I have already exhausted CP before going to SO, I reread M$ docs until the screaming dies down and and I figure it out myself!
- I would love to change the world, but they wonβt give me the source code.

Way back when I was still making the transition from VB6 which I was lucky to have been
a member of a interactive group moderated by John Smiley where the vibe was like CP
I had some real unpleasant encounters on SO might have been my wording for the questions
though I always explained I was a novice at VBNet every now and then a more polite person
would respond with a answer or a website with information to help with the question.
When I first joined Code Project it was to ask a question about VB.Net and Visual Studio
I was very lucky the response came from Original Griff need I say more.
YES every now and then the tone on CP is sharp and of no help but that is seldom
and I just take this members reply as he has forgotten what it was like to not
know what you are doing when trying to learn to code in a new language.
The big issue with SO has always been the idea of points for posting an answer
and begging for accepting the answer. The most worthless reply is one that goes like this
"You should NOT be doing it that way" with no reply how to do it I just delete the question which you can not do now
YES Stack Overflow is NOT of great value

I have found it to be a very good collection of knowledge from previously asked questions. I refrain from asking questions there though. Thankfully, I have rarely had a question that I did not find an answer for either here or there.

SO is very picky about what type of question it wants.
Even though you're just looking for a general setting you'd need to give them a concrete example with a sample table and the incorrect code is generates.
EF6 used some sort of templating system I've never seen anywhere else that you could probably edit to change the output of the generated code: Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate.
I've never had to dig that deep into EF Core to know if how it works. Hopefully they use something less gross.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I gave this a go (have not played for ages).
I have a standard sequence of words. First - 2 letters. Second and third - nothing. Fourth - two letters. It was then I realised that high contrast was not on, and I thought my letters were in the correct place because I am color blind. Got it in the fifth

Morass: excerpted from one of my emails today: "the [redacted] effort to support this died in the morass of approvals required to implement mining the data"

I almost used the phrase "python mating ball[^]" instead of "morass", but I knew my audience wouldn't get it.
