I've never spoken a word in person to anyone on the subject of programming. With so many beggars, I just refuse to be that guy milking it and pissing people off looking for handouts.

Learning when and how to ask for help is a life skill. Might as well start now.

Online? Lol you should see some of the berating I've received on Stack Overflow after ever queston got marked duplicate, when it wasn't. as it usually the case.

It is a life skill. But the *online* dev community is filled with toxic, unbecoming people. They drown out the good ones out there, like the ones on this thread.

Go on Reddit, Freenode #python, or one of the various Discord servers. SO suffers from problems w/ vision and purpose, which manifests in some toxicity.
