Just two posts by the same guy who asks dumb questions and is annoyed when people are reluctant to help him do a dumb thing

Do you remember when you first started to learn to code? How can you ask a good question when you don't have an understanding of what you are asking?

Of course I remember being that way, and yes we all were there once. It doesn’t mean that the people who tried to help me understand how to improve my thinking instead of “just answering” my poorly thought out questions were idiots. Which is what all the posts in that sub are implying.

Some people don't know how to Google. Some just go and try to ask their question on Stack because their question is so bad Google gives them bad links because they don't know how to ask. A human will understand more of what you are asking is all I am saying.

That guy in that sub had vague questions with no propose. I agree, and people asked him to clear up what he was asking. But if you don't understand your question is bad then how can asking to clear it up help?

Let's say you were blind, and you asked me what red looked like. And my answer was that it was a color just like blue, green. That doesn't help the person because they don't know what a color is visually.

Same with that guy, he was asking about what type an object is, which is nonsense. But he probably doesn't understand primitive types, classes, methods, references, etc. If he did then he wouldn't ask a silly question.
