- stevekemp 10y agoIndeed I had a discussion on reddit recently, trying to help somebody. Their exact words; "It should take somebody 20 minutes to fix this if they know python" At that point I was done with the conversation, though I was tempted to ask what their bug-fixing-budget was..
- khedoros1 10y agoWhen someone asks me to provide them a fixed version of their code, that's when their problem completely stops being my problem (unless there's something unusually interesting about the code, maybe). What bothers me is if someone starts acting like they're entitled to my help and time. What bothers me more is when they act like they're entitled to a complete solution, rather than hints, explanations, and recommendations. No, I'm not going to code your homework assignment for you, sorry.
