The problem is that other programmers don't care about posts like that, so they'd never be read. Or if they do read them it'll just be to tell you how completely idiotic you are for taking that long to figure that problem out. Or that they could have done it in a week. I don't know about you, but I enjoy reading articles about people succeeding and enjoying what we're all doing. Like, if you were pushing shopping carts would you rather read about people surfing on top of them or bitching about how terrible their lives are?
- frendiversity 14y agoIf you enjoy reading those articles so much, would you mind scanning through this pile of old newspapers I've got in my garage? I'll let you do it for $20.
- xauronx 14y agoI'm not sure that I understand the point you're trying to make.
- frendiversity 14y agoI don't have to make a point, I just have to cut down your argument with some evidence you agree with. This is how you con programmers into writing programs for you. I have watched it happen half a dozen times now.
- xauronx 14y agoNo, I'm not saying you have to make a point but you have to at least make sense. What you said meant nothing to me, so I was asking for clarification, but you're obvious not looking for communication here.
- frendiversity 14y agoThat's correct, I am not looking for communication. I am simply frustrating your ability to make a valid argument. Inevitably I can use this tactic to persuade you to do something for me.
