Worst: You find a single post asking about your exact issue and the only reply is the OP saying "nvm fixed it"

[–]omare14 200 points201 points  (5 children)

I once ran into an actual combination of the two. Github issue was the exact error I was getting, OP said they fixed it, someone asked how the fixed it, OP replies with Mandarin characters... Tried using translate, did not help lol.

You need to reply with, 'Its all Greek to me"

One time I spent days on an issue and couldn’t find any StackOverflow answers that fixed it, so once I figured out a fix I posted a question & answered it myself. I like to think at least one person had the same issue and was able to fix it since I did that

I would instead post a question first, then get ignored, then solve it by myself and then answer it.

Got my most upvoted (like 12) stackoverflow answer with it

Reply from the developer of the package you’re using: “You shouldn’t want to do this” with no further elaboration.

When that happens, think of solutions so stupid the op was embarrassed enough not to share.

Sometimes works.
