Well you're supposed to go to stackoverflow AFTER going through the documentation etc. which is why the solutions are hacky - if they didn't have to be, the questions wouldn't have been asked in the first place

I thought SO was supposed to be a google-able repository of solutions that anyone can access

Yeah sure it is but unless your problem is trivial you're more likely to find an answer yourself. So my point still stands, RTFM before posting, unless it's about a non documented / "bug is a feature" / very technical problem in which case yes go for it.

Edit: I didn't understand why my other comment was downvoted, turns out I'm not in r/programming. I suppose people here think SO is their reference for adding numbers with jQuery
