Hi Milan, First of all, welcome in our community.
We do not maintain StackOverflow and the experience that you have there is not representative for our project. This mailing list(s), the Slack team and the issue tracker are. Btw, debugging for 2 days is a great way to start learning Pharo. And we do appreciate the effort. Please do engage with us. We want your energy and your commitment.
