Even worse your question is slightly different and you asked it because the one they just linked as a duplicate didnt help or didnt fit fully. I get so angry when someones asking the right question but some a-hole SO mod closes it almost as if they took no care to compare context and want to meet some obscure metrics for SO.
I love SO but as you say the mods are the worst part.
- TZubiri 2y agoStill, much of ChatGPTs success in code can be owed to SO success in generating a mountain of useful googleable archives. See stacksort: https://xkcd.com/1185 https://xkcd.com/1185 Remember that the objective of SO is not to provide answers to users who post questions, but to provide answers to users who google questions.
- giancarlostoro 2y agoMy frustration is that I google questions wind up in SO and a mod links to an irrelevant but related question from 20 years prior.
