I asked a question on a forum about why a command wasn’t working. They said I didn’t have an interpreter installed on my computer and were making fun of me. I showed them that I had one installed and that wasn’t the problem, but they continued to talk sarcastically to me without explaining anything. Only one of them suggested the cause of the problem, and he was right, so I thanked him. Then another guy said that if I couldn’t figure it out myself, I should do something else and that he was tired of people like me. After that, I deleted my question, and now I’m not sure. And I don’t think I want to ask for help ever again
Or even the ones that do know what they are talking about have such shitty lives that they feel better entertaining themselves playing “benevolent sage” without knowing what “benevolent” means so just end up trying to throw around the tiny bit of power they have.
Don’t give up because of them or assume all programmers are like that. Just like many other areas, the assholes tend to be the loudest.
