Literally any question I asked was met by some snide asshole. Like I'm at the stage where I don't know the jargon to explain my issue and that was somehow an affront to God to them. I get it, repeat questions suck, but the answers they'd link to didn't help me because I couldn't understand the jargon in the answers.

"Why are you using PHP instead of Py Go ++ Framework???? Its way betger for use cases of 100,000 people or more."

Nevermind that you may be supporting a legacy system used by 20 people that runs on a literal potato anyway.

If one suspects there is a better answer to 'the question behind the question':

  1. answer the actual question that was asked, then

  2. ask the question behind the question and answer that too.

Infuriating when people only do the latter. Particularly when I come by a question that is my EXACT problem, and none of the answers even attempt to answer the question that was asked.
