Especially in my early days venturing into Python (with which I am still only casually acquainted), I’d google a problem and end up on an SO question outlining my exact problem, only see “closed as duplicate” or a bunch of snarky comments about how the questioner didn’t RTFM or whatever.
Why do they hate people asking questions on this site specifically about asking questions? Part of being a noob is not just about not knowing the bare facts of a thing, but not knowing where to look for answers or even what to ask.
While I’m on this soapbox, I hate it when people say “just google it.” because most of the time I see that phrase it’s because that forum post is the first google result.
It’s even “funnier” when they just sightly miss the question, because they glanced over it and thought they had already answered it multiple times, but just post a generic reply that doesn’t actually help with the nuance of the question.
Like, I get it, it’s difficult sometimes and you’re answering people for free, but instead of getting frustrated and not helping anyway, maybe just leave it be.
