Well hold on there, im not tryna praise them. I think we need a free and federated alternative. I only mean to say that an answer always has some verbal feedback on it.
The incrediblely low quality of the feedback is legendary there, though.
"How do I X?"
"Do not X. - Fin"
That's the wrong way to go about things. You show them a clearly incorrect example of a code you need help with but say that it's a good code and don't believe anyone can do better. People will jump over themselves to correct you and provide helpful solutions.
Ah yes, Murphy's Law. Instead of asking a question, just post the wrong answer and someone will come along to correct you.
