I hardly ever do this, but today StackOverflow really just made me so mad. I used to enjoy getting helpful answers to questions, but I don't know when the so called "tech geniuses" decided to use the site and ended up making it so snobby. Here is how to use the site:
USE BIG FANCY WORDS THIS WAY PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE ACTUALLY A CODER.
MAKE SURE YOU ASK QUESTIONS THEY DEEM TO BE GOOD.
LASTLY, MAKE SURE YOU FIND OUT HOW MUCH THEY WANT POSTED.
Some will say the minimum, while others say post everything.
Seriously, they told me I can't "contribute" (in other words ask questions, which is what the site was meant for), because my previous questions apparently weren't good enough. Basically they just insulted my intelligence as someone who is in school learning how to code. HELLO! I am not going to know everything. That's what I was there for.
Also, about 99% of the "help" you will get, is people fixing your grammar and spelling. Didn't know that the site was for English teachers to go in and fix that, instead of REAL coders coming in and helping you with a problem. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A COMMUNITY AS CODERS AND THIS SITE DOESN'T REFLECT THAT!
