I guess I’m not surprised that programmers don’t know how to follow meme standards.
The three panels following the first one are supposed to be helping the first one.
Is anyone going to tell them about stack overflow, or…
I am altering the meme. Pray I do not alter it any further.
Senior developer here, it looks like they are helping to me.
“Catching mice is a stupid question.”
It’s an X Y problem. Please retell the history, starting from your birth, that led to this moment before I contemplate answering your question

My for-profit large language model will not be stopped by your “anti commercial ai license” because it hasn’t learned to read yet.

“Relying on humans” is open to interpretation.

This is a very real problem from the answering side. So many people would rather have you guess what they’re trying to ask and then get mad at you when you guess wrong.
I know whenever I try to help someone with a Linux issue it’s always an uphill battle to get them to stop guessing what they think the problem might be and show me the logs.
People really don’t want to give you the information you need to help them.
To be fair, people who know which logs to attach and how to get them usually already know enough to troubleshoot the issue by themselves.
This is such a hard part of learning Linux. “Just look at the logs” Which logs? Where? How?
journalctl > logs.txt(don’t actually do this)
I once submitted an issue to a devs GitHub. The apps login page would not load without large bg pictures loading first. I asked if he could add an option to disable it in the settings, as my self hosted site was slow.
I essentially got back, “why would I do that? It’s not an issue for me! Besides the login page should load before the background picture” issue closed
😑😑😑😑
It’s like you’re SO CLOSE to seeing the issue.
