Good Old Days

Content RandyWatson 2y 1 Award You're just using the wrong strategy. When I was a new developer someone taught me the secret. You can't just post the question you want the answer to. That gets you nowhere. Instead, post the code you want fixed with some stupid question. Brag about how awesome your code is and even question why dumb developers don't use the techniques you are employing. The more condescending the better. The way you should phrase your question must incorporate blaming other developers for your problem like, "How do I make my awesome code work with this idiot's shitty excuse for an API that I'm required to use because my boss is a dumb ass Then post your code. Your code will be tuned to perfection by angry devs everywhere. They will explain every piece of it to you likely in the most easy to understand (think condescending) way they can because you're an idiot noob who thinks their code is actually good. This will not be a nice explanation, but will be super clear to make sure you understand what an idiot you are. Plus, you will get every finely tuned code snippet possible to fix your solution. You just have to ignore all the mean shit the devs say to take you down a peg. Ask an honest question as a new developer, expect one of two things to happen: crickets or an insult about how you didn't bother to search for the answer. Reply 1.4K

The eternal optimism-to-despair pipeline of debugging. At 9 AM, we're all sunshine and confidence: "Just a quick fix, I'll be done before coffee gets cold!" Fast forward 14 hours, and you're still there, soul crushed, wondering why you didn't become a farmer instead. The best part? Tomorrow you'll do it all again with the same delusional enthusiasm. That "easy bug" is like quicksand - the more you struggle, the deeper you sink into Stack Overflow threads from 2011.
