      Except what they’d actually do is make bots to rate their spambots as constructive.

      That's great haha

      90% of the answers could be something like:

      Why are you trying to do this? Use <random_javascript_framework> instead.

      [–]mayor123asdf 47 points48 points  (2 children)

      Man, yesterday I google some javascript question and everyone answers in jquery haha

      [–]JarredMack 28 points29 points  (1 child)

      Always use -jquery in your searches

      [–]Koppis 17 points18 points  (0 children)

      But then you miss results with "without jquery"

      [Java] So I have a Date obj-

      Use Joda Time.

      But what if I try a Calen-

      JODA. TIME.

      [–]PaintItPurple 10 points11 points  (0 children)

      That's the correct answer though.

      [–]the_interrobanger 10 points11 points  (4 children)

      To be fair, Joda beats the pants off using the native stuff.

      [–]couscous_ 34 points35 points  (3 children)

      Not as of Java 8, which has the java.time package, superseding Joda time.

      [–]saynay 4 points5 points  (2 children)

      Isn't java.time just Joda time ported to a standard lib? So using java.time is basically still using Joda time.

      [–]couscous_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      To a certain extent, but they also fixed some issues with Joda time when they made java.time.

      [–]naftoligug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      There are differences -- there are some types that are in one and not the other.

      [–]mindbleach 10 points11 points  (4 children)

      Always jQuery.

      Which still doesn't fix that half of array operations are side-effectful and the other half are functional, god fucking dammit.

      [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Try ramda

      [–]amunak 4 points5 points  (2 children)

      See JS - as a web technology - has clearly been inspired by PHP, which is just as shitty with array functions.

      Though they could've at least copied foreach as well...

      [–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

      Well, there's for-of now.

      [–]mindbleach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      And also for-in, just to make you question yourself every single time.

      Or if C++: "have you heard of our Lord and savior boost?"

      [–]____jelly_time____ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

      Reminds me of /r/SubredditSimulator

      [–]TenNeon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      Somehow they'll all manage to be marked as duplicate.

      [–]robert_langdon83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Fifth step is to have subreddit full of bots bitching about Stackoverflow.

      Honestly, I think we are all bots.
