Wow, this describes me to a T. The only difference being, you (Dan Luu) are much smarter than me.
The other day I got confused by a decimal separator on Hacker News and posted a comment saying so. I am pretty sure some people assumed I was stupid. Perhaps they did not want to put in the effort required to understand why some one might get confused in the given situation.
I will admit sometimes I fall into this trap too and assume the other person is stupid. Nobody is perfect.
I have nothing profound to say, just wanted to share this.

Perhaps they did not want to put in the effort required to understand why some one might get confused in the given situation. When you try to post low-level questions on a high-level forum (no matter what trade it is), you will get negative responses, because you dilute the topic. It's like having speed bump in fast lane.
- programmer_dude 5y agoYes, that's understandable.
