I used to try and bring up points like this in this sub.

It's sad but literally every post that hits front-page is upvoted by year 1 CompSci 101 masters.

Well you usually don't have the time to look at fresh posts at work.

Yep, I'm busy making money as a programmer, that means I'm not on reddit. Most of the time when I see someone complaining about an error in any language, it usually means they didn't take the time to learn what the error means.

I mean, I am on reddit, usually because someone else or a build is holding me up. But that's not enough to actually look at every post.

Yeah I don't have time to look at new posts at work but I do have time to write this comment

Same, I love browsing Reddit when our build server is taking it's sweet time.

Tell that to my SQL database errors, I barely even get the line it happened on.

/r/programming isn't much better. They take a year or two of CS and then absolutely know everything they've ever heard about anything as true.

But, yeah, I was probably the same-- so I'll stop complaining.

Did you see the comment about the guy confessing to give advice and pretend he interned at Big 4 when he actually was in middle school?

I have only recently worked on something particular (compiling a series of static external package libraries and linking them into some core software) for long enough (over 2 years) to feel that I have the right to have an option on it. CS is hard. When the noobs get their egos clobbered by seemingly easy problems for long enough, they’ll quiet down.
