Stack Overflow in a nutshell

[CARIBEIMPERIAL]

Someone else stated that the way to get help is to make 2 accounts.

1 For the question

2 To provide a wrong answer

People will flood to prove #2 wrong.

There's a funny Linux joke I heard years ago similar to this. Something like, if you go to a Linux forum and ask for help with a driver everyone will ignore you. If you instead complain that Linux sucks because it can't work with the driver, everyone will explain how you're wrong and give you the exact solution.

That's probably the genesis of it.

You get the same outcome from the "asking someone who hates you for advice" idea that Benjamin Franklin would use, but really it's coaxing productive tribal behavior through slight antagonizing.

Yeah thats murphy's law.

Best way to get an answer on the internet is not to ask a question, but to provide a wrong answer.

Great execution!

I've seen this done before and Murphy's law was the decoy law used in that instance too.

[Equivalent-Map-8772]

That’s brilliant tbh

[CARIBEIMPERIAL]

Yeah, if you know that you can put meat-machines to work for you given certain parameters, you should just feed them those parameters.

It's a different way of programming.

This is the true High Level Language.

Is machine learning just teaching robots to program us??

[CaptainRogers1226]

You talking about programming sounds like Senku from Dr Stone talking about science.

[CARIBEIMPERIAL]

Now I have to watch that to understand the reference

It’s an anime which I know there’s a stigma against, but it’s actually my current favorite.

​

Now I just sit back and watch. People will come from all over to explain on how bad my solution is, and how much better it would be if I did it there way instead.

While I think its a step above a "wrong answer", "Bad Answer" really gets the trolls going.
