I asked a question on a forum about why a command wasn’t working. They said I didn’t have an interpreter installed on my computer and were making fun of me. I showed them that I had one installed and that wasn’t the problem, but they continued to talk sarcastically to me without explaining anything. Only one of them suggested the cause of the problem, and he was right, so I thanked him. Then another guy said that if I couldn’t figure it out myself, I should do something else and that he was tired of people like me. After that, I deleted my question, and now I’m not sure. And I don’t think I want to ask for help ever again
A large majority of programmers seem to think sharing knowledge means they will lose value so they are super stingy with it. “Back in my days” you’d find people literally using their shoulders to block anyone’s view of their code
99% of those are terrible programmers that do not really understand what they are doing.
