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

Opening that GitHub repo after half a year feels like deep-sea archaeology. The code is some ancient artifact, buried under 3775.6 meters of mental context you've completely forgotten. You stare at your own comments thinking "What kind of sleep-deprived maniac wrote this?" before realizing it was you, at 2AM, fueled by energy drinks and misplaced confidence. The worst part? That brilliant architecture you were so proud of now looks like someone let a neural network write code after training it exclusively on Stack Overflow answers from 2011.

I say we gamify the website. add a virtual currency, loot boxes gacha mechanics, and a f2p live service model add paid cosmetics which you can add to your profile each season we will have a battle pass add several premium subscription tiers do collabs with famous IPs, like John Wick, Family Guy, Dragonball, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Naruto market heavily to children so that we have lifelong users pay influencersstreamers to stream our website and praise all the new game mechanics. People like Qc. He doesn't have any background in programmingCS? Who cares, just pay him to stream our website. It's just that simple. ProarammerHumor.io

The CRUSHING WEIGHT of Stack Overflow literally DESTROYING the lone developer who dares to ask yet another question! Like Atlas condemned to hold up the sky for eternity, except instead of the heavens, it's the collective judgment of thousands of developers ready to mark your question as "duplicate" or "lacks minimal reproducible example." The sheer AGONY of being that solo dev, desperately trying not to collapse under the burden of "What have you tried?" and "Did you Google this first?" comments. And they wonder why we develop trust issues!
