I guess I’m not surprised that programmers don’t know how to follow meme standards.
The three panels following the first one are supposed to be helping the first one.
I am altering the meme. Pray I do not alter it any further.
Senior developer here, it looks like they are helping to me.
Sending you on a side quest isnt really helping efficiently
But it is helping effectively.
It’s less efficient to learn how to do something than to have somebody who knows how do it for you, but it’s more effective to learn for yourself. Hard won knowledge is rarely lost.
Ha, tell that to my brain trying to recall what i learned in undergrad
!:'(!<
Heads up, that spoiler syntax doesn’t work on normal lemmy
Time management is different for everyone, and when you’re on a deadline, or just dealing with a one-off situation, the extra research has no value.
Sometimes you don’t need to know how the clock works, you just need to know what time it is.
I totally agree. There are exceptions to every rule, but random people on the internet who you aren’t being paid to solve the problem for by a very large majority would benefit more from education than having their problem solved for them.
Teach a man to fish and all that.
Yeah but it’s funny in a different way; they are giving ignorant and condescending advice because while big cats have impressive hunting abilities, they don’t normally hunt mice.
The person you’re responding to is giving advice in an ignorant and condescending way as a joke
Someone else already did. Marked as duplicate.
Part of language (which memes are a part of) is changing it to express new ideas and new forms of humor.
Is anyone going to tell them about stack overflow, or…
how dare people alter the meaning of a meme? there are meme standards for a reason!! /s
We live in a society. We have laws. And order.

This is a pretty old meme now. It’s a bit late for that.
“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”
“Read the wiki”
“Nobody here is interested in holding your hand.”
“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”
This is a very real problem from the answering side. So many people would rather have you guess what they’re trying to ask and then get mad at you when you guess wrong.
I know whenever I try to help someone with a Linux issue it’s always an uphill battle to get them to stop guessing what they think the problem might be and show me the logs.
People really don’t want to give you the information you need to help them.
To be fair, people who know which logs to attach and how to get them usually already know enough to troubleshoot the issue by themselves.
This is such a hard part of learning Linux. “Just look at the logs” Which logs? Where? How?
journalctl > logs.txt
(don’t actually do this)(what does this do?)

You’d think so, but the logs often contain a ton of noise along with the one line that tells me what the actual issue is.
I make sure to give my guess and also append as many logs and exact information as possible, right down to every step I took that produced the problem.
So far my success rate with the forums is 0%. But hey, people at least tried to be helpful!
Yep. I do triage on potentially bad questions and this is probably the most common response I give.
Stop, stop. It hurts, it’s too real.

“Relying on humans” is open to interpretation.
For food. You know… nom nom (the humans as food I am hinting at!:-P).
I once submitted an issue to a devs GitHub. The apps login page would not load without large bg pictures loading first. I asked if he could add an option to disable it in the settings, as my self hosted site was slow.
I essentially got back, “why would I do that? It’s not an issue for me! Besides the login page should load before the background picture” issue closed
😑😑😑😑
It’s like you’re SO CLOSE to seeing the issue.
This image macro is supposed to be supportive
So was stackoverflow when it began
Can confirm, the support forum crowd are dicks
I’d rather rather run my nuts through a wringer than deal with that shit.
Hey u/wringer4u
Heyy…
“Catching mice is a stupid question.”
Well this makes me feel better about my stupid questions on stack overflow.
Look at this fancy person with enough reputation to ask a question
I know you’re trying to make a joke about SO’s restrictive rep system, but asking and answering questions doesn’t require reputation, at all. If anything, that’s where you start building rep.
Didn’t know that. Never felt the need to ask questions since almost all of my queries are asked in some form or another. However many times I had info to share complementing the answers but couldn’t comment.
Yep, commenting requires some rep in most communities, 15 on SO I think

is that tiger using a freebsd laptop
Would buy immediately if they had wifi 5/6
It was a fun project to set up a FreeBSD laptop until I stumbled upon the WiFi issue, but I didn’t notice any advantage over just using Debian.
