Unfortunately I care, if a question is generic like "How to test an attachment with Rails and Paperclip". My accepted solution form 2010, still valid, if you download the same version of Rails and Paperclip used back in the days. I personally get angry when people down-vote it and answer it 10 years later saying, in Rails 6, that's wrong..
- root_axis 6y agoOnly if the software in question has not been updated much since the question was asked, or your answer specifically includes version numbers or is specific enough that it can be easily deduced that the answer only applies to a specific version. Otherwise, the answer is wrong, because it doesn't make sense to expect someone asking such a generic question to be running a decade old version of the stack and in almost every case they'd be worse off if they opted to use the decade old version of the stack just to make use of your answer.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoI can understand why that's annoying, but I asked how you would feel if your answer was incorrect. Do virtual points matter more than helping people find useful answers?
