Technically, yes. But this is forgetting how much of this is related to social contracts.
It's not necessarly:
> I have a question about Java but I'm too lazy to actually formalize it in words unless there's someone on the channel who might be able to answer it
But it could be:
"I have a question about Java, but nobody knows me around here, so instead of flooding the chan with a wall of text, interrupting the flaw of all the discussions around, I'm doing to introduce my interruption progressively"
- dinkleberg 5y agoThis can be done much more effectively than just “hey does anyone know Java?” Something like “Hey I’m having trouble with X. Is anyone able to take a look?” is much better since you’re actually describing your ask. Sure, I may know Java, but I may not know the answer to your problem.
