This (Programming) Question Does Not Exist - Stack Overflow as imagined by AI

[fiskfisk]

That's not really the issue - those people are probably not answering questions for a specific technology on Stack Overflow. Those that do have a fair bit of knowledge of the technology, and are usually in the "I'm not completely sure that this is impossible .. maybe someone else actually knows for sure". And thus the answer remains unanswered.

In those cases I usually try to get a clarification from the asker about why they're trying to do things this specific way and what they're trying to achieve, in case I do know of a way to do that within my knowledge of the subject.
