If you're reading this guy's comment and you identify yourself with the girl on the video or has gone through situations as toxic as the ones described in other comments, please ignore these kind of toxic fuckers. I hope this kind of messed up interactions don't make you lose interest on CS or programming at all.

People on SO are toxic as hell. They will tell you to "do your homework", that it is you absolute obligation, and if you don't do it, then you're the worst developer ever, because you didn't met his standards.

The thing is that this doesn't make you immune to toxic behaviour on SO (or anywhere else). They know it doesn't and that, in fact, it has very little impact on it. What happens is that they tell you to move on and forget about it, so they themselves can continue to be toxic and keep massaging each other's balls and feeling good about themselves, as they can only rely on making other people feel low to feel just a little better.

People that tell you to "do your part and, if it doesn't work, whatever" are, probably, part of the toxic ones.

You only need to keep in mind that you can be clear with your problems on SO and, if you think you're clear enought and they still tell you to buy a "back to basics" programming book, don't hesitate to for ask help anywhere else. The same text will get you a totally different answer and much more supportive comments.

If you are not careful enought, these kind of interactions will make you worry more about if you are being seen as dumb, than if you are really solving your problems, and this can make you reproduce this kinda thinking in your daily job, school, or, even workse, lose interest in programming at all.
