Content My code Luck Online forums from 2008 Indian guys on YouTube Stack Overflow

The eternal cycle of student programmer existence. During breaks, we're all Renaissance artists crafting pristine memes with proper syntax and original concepts. Then the semester starts, and suddenly we're posting half-baked "works on my machine" screenshots at 2AM between debugging sessions and existential crises. Nothing says "I have three assignments due tomorrow" like a poorly cropped Stack Overflow screenshot with the title "haha relatable."

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

Content Stackoverflow my question I got you, brother! codez commenters Oh, no, you don't!

The entire software industry nervously looking away when doctors point out that Googling doesn't make you a professional. Meanwhile, 90% of our code is just StackOverflow solutions with the variable names changed. If doctors built bodies the way we build software, they'd be transplanting organs from WebMD comment sections and hoping the patient doesn't blue screen.
