It is also dead due to how repulsive the place was. Literally.

    As a power-whiner that racked up points on low value “acshually” style response comments, I’ve decided to lock your questions and edit the body of your question for you.

    Please come back when your question is:

    • Vague enough it no longer describes your issue or context
    • Specific enough that it doesn’t match the 50 other posts you read that failed to help you
    • And I roll a d20 and reach a value greater than 18.

    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.
