"when I was younger" is a risky point of view: i.e. when I was younger I wrote a cycling manager game that was really a very very modded gorilla.bas, and there was no internet to use, only the inline help and that was it. that mindset of figuring things out by incremental change and debugging thoroughly sticks, and even if now I can say I'm used to stack overflow and the like I do see programmer that grew up in a fully connected social world do rely a lot more on the network to find answers than me.
- watwut 9y agoSearching for answers does not leave trace. Only posting under own name does. And there are so many answers to beginners questions out there, that you rarely need to ask new one (and it is likely to be closed as duplicate or obvious homework). The idea that every beginner programers must leave public track of beginners questions is fairly ridiculous.
