Some dedicated a lot of time in the last decades to excel in answering questions.

But those questions which don't come anymore in sufficient numbers for their niche of expertise or are already answered when they show up. *

Offering coding challenges might be a way to

BUT a new section would need a lot of work which can't be justified without actual content.

Question:
