    I swear, i have read some issues…

    So, i sometimes help people who have problems with an android CLI launcher

    There is a fucking command called, “help” and when you open the launcher one of the first thing you see is “write help to get a command list”, you write help and you get a list of all commands and there is even a wiki (not complete though) that explain some commands and they STILL ASK “can you add [command that already exist]?”.
    So i kinda feel why some people want a skill issue tag

      I’d say “sure!” Then amaze them with how good and quick I am by telling them an hour or two later to "try it now "

      What you describe sounds more like a “competence” issue than a skill issue - can’t have the latter without first having the former.

        That way you teach them that

        • you are somehow a magician
        • they can ask for any stupid thing and you will do it right away for them because what else should you be doing
        • it doesn’t matter if this feature even fits into your plans because all you want to do is grant every wish
        • a new feature is written and will appear instantly at the users computer. Who cares about testing or of this breaks other features as long as this guy is happy

        They are beginner devs, so they should learn to understand how things work.

      A launcher in the sense that lawnchair is? as in, the thing you see when no app is open?
      because that would be sick as hell as an android launcher

        Yeah, it’s open source too! If you are interessed it’s called “Yantra Launcher” on the playstore it has a minimal version(with less commands) and a pro version to support the developer but you can build the launcher yourself if you want

      I mean, not that I’m ever going to contest the existence of idiots, I myself sometimes cosplay as one, but if ‘help’ isn’t quoted in the original instructions, I’m not going to blame people for not parsing the sentence correctly.
