    See this is what I’m talking about. You’re saying you’ve heard stories. I bet some of them are legitimate criticism, but I’m also positive many of them are from people that couldn’t put on the bare minimum of effort when asking for help from strangers on the internet.

      My favorite thing about SO is when a valid “solution” (workaround) stops working because the functions used get depreciated, and you’re left with the original problem four years later, fucking MySQL.

      I once had a person ask a question on a library I made. They asked how to unit test the library. I answered it and got downvoted because my answer wasn’t the accepted answer.

      I think it’s far less of a problem when users can’t put in the bare minimum

      compared to mods who can’t even put in the bare minimum and provide a link when they belive they found a duplicate.

      That takes reading from existing users.

      Also not all answers are perennial for a question. So it makes sense to ask them again. In that case, closing a question as duplicate is absurd.
