You know what I always hated about Stack Overflow?

When a newbie asks a question and really wants to learn something they get downvoted for 'we're not your teacher. Go learn it somewhere else'

When someone else asks a question and just expects Stack Overflow to magically produce working code for him they also get downvoted for 'we're not a code generator'

When someone finally asks a 'good question' but mentions in the last line it's homework they also get downvoted for 'We won't do your homework'

They also don't tolerate fun or opinions.

I never actually participated in Stack Overflow because to me it felt that whatever I asked, it would get closed for god knows why. And when I actually answered questions, and wanted to help someone, I would get downvoted for 'don't make someone else homework' or 'don't waste your time if they're not willing to put effort in it'

I still always 'used' Stack Overflow but read-only thanks to Google.

Anyone else feels/felt the same way?

    @Biggy Today I wanted to use a framework called biggy. But it was deprecated and not anymore available on GitHub. Don't mind me. Just stating some thoughts.

    Repeat after me.

    1) "Stack overflow is not for noob questions"

    Next..

    2) "Those are easily googleable"

    Finally..

    3) "They're doing it for free. If they answered noob questions all day, they wouldn't want to do it for free and the site collapses"

    Quit complaining

    @hashedram repeat after me...

    1) "We are on devRANT"

    next...

    2) "The goal on here is to complain as much as you can"

    finally...

    3) "If people on here wouldn't complain it wouldn't have been called devRant, would it?"

    Quit complaining about complaining
