Stackoverflow is FULL of.... People?

#FixStackOverflow

But also something I think about ALOT. As someone who both:
1. Was really really bad at software engineering for a long time (still is? idk you tell me...)
2. Works hard to unblock developers and make them successful

Stackoverflow is a great tool, and we need to help educate the users to do the right thing so we can all be successful.

I found your channel through AIOHTTP video and I found it extra helpful for teaching the core philosophy behind why we have to code a certain way and why the alternatives fail to give a good performance.
When I clicked this second video I thought it would be some entertaining compilation of funny questions or answers but I found out how humble and thoughtful you are. Always remember that you have a happy subscriber from Shitsville, Australia.

LMAO "Why smart contract code not print me lambo"
Still trying to figure this one out myself.

So about 2 months ago, I asked what impermanent loss was in a discord. The mod answered "this is for big brains"... The wall.

Had an issue with people responding to my SO questions with "Why are you trying to do that?". But they'd never post an actual answer, just a demotivational comment. Still I owe a lot to SO.

Stack overflow should have a report function that leaves an auto reply explaining how to reply properly and how to post properly

I completely agree with your point. But trust me there has been thousands of times when I asked a seeming good question and still I was downvoted. I am not asking to upvote but pls don’t downvote

[devviz]

more new developers should know and apply the advices in this video, and the one you talk about how&where to ask questions (indexed or unindexed platforms), i think it was "6 steps to fix any bugs" something


thanks, patrick🐸

Ran into an error, with the VRF coordinator on rinkeby, kept getting a gas estimation failed error. Thought it was something with my contract so I deployed a mock version of it and it works fine( locally ) but when I deploy it and call any function relating to the VRF coordinator ( requestRandomness, createSub... ) I keep getting same error . I ensured the Keyhash and VRFcordinator address were valid ... Then I thought of asking on stack overflow, but I don't want to get down voted for no reason, so I'll either figure it out or wait till someone's brave enough to do so 😂( did see people with similar problems on there, but still no solution for their problems )

Yes, Stackoverflow is full of jerks AND idiots. The site attracts techies high on "technical IQ", but low, piss-poor, "human EQ". It's a wrong assumption to think that "expert" coders are also good at dealing with people.

It's like they practice being ego maniacs/ jerks on stackoverflow so they can perfect it for their in person interviews.
