I Will Do What I Must

Content rwebdev Posted by uimjustnoob45 6h Why is stackoverflow.com community so harsh? They'd say horrible things everytime I tried to create a post, and I'm completely aware that sometimes my post needs more clarity, or my post is a duplication, but the reason my post was a duplicate was because the original post's solution wasn't working for me... Also, while my posts might be simple to answer at times, please keep in mind that I am a newbie in programming and stackoverflow... I enjoy stackoverflow since it has benefited many programmers, including myself, but please don't be too harsh :( In the comments, you are free to say whatever you want. I'll also mention that I'm going to work on improving my answers and questions on stackoverflow. I hope you understand what I'm saying, and thank you very much! 4 249 S 0 147 Share BEST COMMENTS Sarke1 3h R 2 Awards Marked as duplicate.

The AUDACITY of IT support being EXPOSED like this! 💀 First, we have the smug satisfaction of watching IT professionals struggle with the EXACT SAME PROBLEM you're having - validating that you're not just some clueless user. Then BAM! The betrayal in the comments! Your precious IT hero confessing they just Googled the solution on Reddit! The DRAMA! The SCANDAL! It's like finding out your therapist is actually reading from a self-help book they bought at the airport. And yet... isn't this the circle of tech life? Users pretending they tried everything, IT pretending they know everything, and Reddit silently solving everyone's problems behind the scenes. The tech support ecosystem thriving on collective denial!

Remember when we worried AI would take our jobs? Now we're watching LLMs trying to code by regurgitating increasingly stale StackOverflow answers from 2015. It's like watching your replacement get dumber in real time. The top panel shows happy, innocent SpongeBob - that's our AI models in 2022-23, cheerfully scraping StackOverflow for all that juicy developer knowledge. The bottom panel is the grim reality waiting in 2024-25: depressed SpongeBob sitting in a dimly lit room with a thousand-yard stare, because there's no fresh data to learn from. Just the same old "marked as duplicate" answers from a decade ago. Turns out training on yesterday's solutions doesn't prepare you for tomorrow's problems. Who knew?

The eternal bait-and-switch of programming life. You start a project thinking "I'll just use this simple framework" or "This should only take an afternoon," and suddenly it's 3 weeks later and you're deep in Stack Overflow threads from 2013 trying to figure out why your perfectly reasonable code is being interpreted as an arcane summoning ritual. The optimism-to-despair pipeline is the most reliable infrastructure in tech.
