Someone stumbled upon a repo with a "skill issue" label for GitHub issues. Because nothing says "we value our contributors" quite like telling them they suck at coding when they report a problem. It's the developer equivalent of a doctor diagnosing every patient with "just walk it off." The label sits right next to "not a bug" which is already peak passive-aggressive maintainer energy, but "skill issue" takes it to a whole new level. Why write helpful documentation when you can just gaslight your users into thinking they're the problem? Honestly, props to whoever created this label for their commitment to burning bridges and destroying community goodwill. 10/10 would never contribute to this project again.

The Help Paradox
Reaching out for help online is like playing Russian roulette with your self-esteem. You extend your hopeful little arms toward that bright yellow orb of knowledge, only to be intercepted by some rage-fueled keyboard warrior who calls your code "an abomination against computer science" before suggesting you delete your GitHub account and take up gardening instead. The best part? Their "help" is usually a cryptic one-liner that solves nothing but somehow makes you feel like you've failed at life. Welcome to programming, where the community is simultaneously the best and worst thing about it!

Just Read The Docs Bro
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute DRAMA of asking a simple coding question online! 💀 Left side: innocent newbie with puppy eyes asking for help in Python. Right side: the AUDACITY of these keyboard warriors telling you to "read the docs" like they were born understanding recursion! But PLOT TWIST! Bottom panel shows the rare unicorn who actually helps AND explains, getting a simple "thanks" while the rage-faces continue their existential meltdown about how you're "not a real programmer." The true heroes of StackOverflow are outnumbered by documentation-worshipping gatekeepers who'd rather die than explain a simple for-loop to a beginner. Heaven forbid someone asks how to center a div!
