People on Stack Overflow are SUCH FUCKING ASSHOLES

"You didn't show us where you declared this unimportant array, please review this article for how to ask questions"

My question doesn't concern the array, my question concerns how the system works, all code I provided was only for clarity. Read my fucking question you arrogant asshole. You have lots of points, fine, go tell your mother, but you assume I don't know how to ask a question which you clearly did not read.

    You should try your luck on some of the most hardcore communities, like DBA... they will fucking tear your soul to shreds... Must be one of the hardest ones to rank up... SO it's still somewhat permissive and soft on the users.

    Well, how does one know what you are asking or what the problem you are asking about is, without knowing the context. If something is so unimportant to the question, say it so or just don't include it. SSCCE exists for a reason

    I've heard but never experienced that. Guess it depends on the community. Also it is possible to report these toxic people.

    2 sides of the same coin I guess.
    There are more questions than I'd like, that are like this:

    How can I get my results in this form:
    1 2 'test1'
    1 1 'test2'

    I donno dude, how the fuck can you?

    The point is, whenever providing any relevant source code, make sure people can read and understand what it does. For that, they need to know what sort of data it's working with, and what's its format. A good solution is to shrink your problem as much as possible - create a piece of code with just that relevant error or bug, that's small and self-sufficient. Next step - RUN IT. If it runs fine, then the problem is in another place and you've spared yourself from the humiliation of asking a stupid question.
    If it doesn't work as you think it should, ask the question and include the full mini code in there. People need to be able to reproduce your problem. And they don't want to waste time typing and filling in the voids by themselves (doing the routine work for you)

    Yes, stackoverflow is full of entitled assholes. They especially like downvoting questions from new users to show how much of a triggered asshole they are. And stackoverflow refuses to fix their shitty system because they obviously encourage it.

    It's not just stack overflow. All of the stack exchanges, be it math, physics, chemistry, biology, history, etc.
    All of them are full of assholes.
