The correct title of this thread is ``A question to the people HELPING THEM!''. The omission of BBCode is because of technical restrictions.
Let's say you come upon a cretin asking for help. The language is VB, Java, PHP, or basic C. He's too much of a dolt to use the [code] tags. His code is offensively bad and his question is easily answered by a quick google search. Add some imageboard vocabulary and lack of any punctuation whatsoever for good measure.

What I don't understand is how people can be such a dog in the manger. If you have skill in something, but don't want to help someone else with that skillset, then that's your call; it takes a really bitter person to begrudge other people for doing something nice where you shunned doing anything.

Hopefully he doesn't come back. Even the most obtuse moron should see a pattern after his first three questions are replied with "google it" (and, surprisingly for him, the solution turns out to be really easy to find!).

It depends upon how easily searchable the answer is. Queries that are more interesting than that will get better respect from me.

That is understandable.
But that brings me back to >>4: if you require some amount of respect to consider helping a person, then that is your call and I probably could not argue you away from that position.
Still, there is something wrong about replying "just Google it," at least in our profession, in my opinion. I don't want to create a "look-up table" programmer; I'd rather create a "what is my program doing [here]" analytical programmer.

There are hundreds of sites to get programming help at where people like you hang out. Go there and feel good about yourself. I don't need to tutor newbs to enjoy my knowledge of ani haxing.

I'm just sayin' it's interesting how someone seems intent on pretending that /prog/ used to have a golden era of sage before summer when an inpour users from the image boards lead to a sharp decline in post quality, when none of that is true.

I do believe you impute intentions which aren't there.
Personally I fully support the default-sage mindset, and it's not because I believe there was once some golden era of sage. What do I care what happened then? - I want it to happen now.
Even if I did believe in such a time it doesn't mean I'd support its continued application out of sheer orthodoxy, and I don't really imagine any /prog/lodyte thinking that way either.

This is the first time I've laughed at a MediaWiki reference on /prog/.

He's actually the same person asking the questions, answering them, samefagging shit like "fuck you ``faggot''" all over his own threads, trolling himself and making up all the conversations. And now he created this thread to whine about it. Also, everyone who replied to this thread is actually him.
Conclusion: /prog/ has only one user doing all this shit. Congratulations to his autism. (Yay me... Forever Alone here...)
