The moment when you have to answer your own question on stackoverflow :/

Why :/? Turn it into a :)!

You learned something and are better off now. 😊

You are making the world a better place now by helping someone else also. Now someone will probably upvote you for your hard work.
PS: if you can post the link here we can upvote

Only you can appreciate the struggle to get to answer your own question. :)

@py2js it was a long time ago, but I was reminded of it by a similar rant here today. And this is the link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/...

@encrypt0r you got some nice reputation there.

PS: added 15 to yours :cheers

Happens all the time:
I write so many SO questions, but almost none reach being posted, because while writing I get rubber ducked by my writing and I find an existing answer by looking into 'bat other option I hadn't thought of'. That's about 90% of my SO questions.

Of the other 10%, the same process happens but there's no answer yet, so I post it myself. Free SO increments!

The last one percent I actually post and get great discussions or answers on. I know, it's incredible.
