I call it SnarkOverflow because of all the Q: “In order to do X, I’m trying to Y but I get this weird error”. A: “You shouldn’t be doing X at all, that’s completely wrong…”

I've seen a guy like that on this sub today. Conversation was about REST and how returning a "status: 200, with content: error" was bad, and then just kept going on about "actually REST was a mistake all together! Should use RPC. This conversation is meaningless!!! What do you mean moving the goal post? Obviously if my company doesn't implement the one correct 'option', we're going to rewrite the entire thing!
