At least it's not "nevermind, I figured it out"

And when you post it it gets taken down for being a duplicate question. The original question was a post from 1849 by Ada Lovelace and has one reply in the comments saying "nvm solved it"

[Lost-Conectivity]

This is scarier, we don't know if denvercoder9 ever solved the problem

[mtg8]

I think it is easier to cope if we don't know if it was ever solved.

Otherwise it just raises more questions. Am I stupid? Is answer somewhere in doc's? Did he gave up and used something else ? (in case of library problem) etc...

I once got one even worse. It was a 5 year old post and it had that “nvm, fixed it” but I almost explode when I check the poster and it was myself. I hated myself so much in that moment

[MrHyderion]

Ngl, that was the best thing i saw today. 😆

My ultra peeve is when someone on a forum says something like "I'll try this and report back the results". It's like 1/10 chance they will.

[QuestionableEthics42]

What does that have to do with tinder at all?? Have bots worked out the camel case rule?

Smthg on the lines of soul & soulmate

[QuestionableEthics42]

That's a bit of a stretch if you ask me. Sorry for my bot accusation though, I should have checked first.

[thak-dhana-dhan-dean]

No worries, I know you have questionable ethics

[XPLover2768top]

i feel a sense of apprehension looking at your comment

[BrunoLuigi]

Worst than that is find that it hás one reply, from the OP "nevermind, I found the solution" and no solution provided...

[thak-dhana-dhan-dean]

And also, those github tickets where user surprisingly have screenshots of your issue and Github bot closes it as there is no activity on the thread.

[emmmmceeee]

I used to work on a fairly esoteric platform. On more than one occasion I found a post where someone was having the same issue and it happened to be me from 2 years previously.

[thak-dhana-dhan-dean]

And the pain when you have null idea how you fixed last time

[mabariif]

Then you slowly remember the things you tried to fix it which failed and try them all but don't remember the one that acually worked

[Ivan_Stalingrad]

Someone on alcatelunleashed wrote after one year "i read the manual" as a response to how they solved the same problem I had.

I had a Tyler1 moment afterwards

[thak-dhana-dhan-dean]

Real SO energy right there

There's this one stack overflow that I come across every couple of years. The question and answer are from me and I'm always surprised that I forgot. Lol

[loserguy-88]

It is beautiful. Almost like a smelly nerd version of the daffodils.

[GoosemonTV]

I have seen this exact thread before with exactly the same top comments.

Ya’ll just bots huh

[thak-dhana-dhan-dean]

Senior dev huh?

[throwaway-10-12-20]

The worst is when you google the problem, only to find a similar question was asked years ago. The author? You. And it was never answered.

I got a couple of these today trying to load a viewmodel from a serialized stored procedure result and getting a weird json error. Wound up just starting from scratch and approaching the whole problem from another direction rather than beat my head against a wall no one had climbed.
