Tech Forums Question

Why every tech forum 100% against "spoonfeeding".

for example:
>i need X command to do Y
>reply: (link to documentation or something of that nature)
>Could you just give me the command so I don't have to read that
>reply:OMG WTF LAZY BITCH READY MY LINK CLOSE THREAD

The way I see it, it's like asking someone to go get an astronomy textbook just to know the distance between moon and earth. Just say it you condescending cunt.

>readings docs wouldn't take as much time as a fuckin textbook
not the point. be a little considerate and save someone's time no matter how minuscule.


>why should I have to read it and not OP????
If you know something that could help someone, share it, simply. period. If OP really wanted to learn it he would read the docs without making a forum post.

Also: For sites like stack-overflow with posters having a period over unoriginal questions, you're just as bad.

>BUT MUH FLODDING
repetitive questions are NOT bad.

>MUH FORUM ETIQUETTE
Almost as bad as religious dogma, in the sense that it's current standard is fucking retarded.

tl;dr: "spoonfeeding" == being polite & considerate.

If you're that big of a pussy, have some kind of containment section like Sup Forums with /r/.

--
if you care, i got assblasted cause someone wanted to know how to change clock format on lxde and poster threw a huge fucking tantrum over OP just wanting the format, not a fucking documentation.

Ok, op.

----------THREAD CLOSED----------

Because if you learn things on your own, you learn how to learn, and can stop bugging people with basic questions.

Here's a basic tip: This book doesn't only apply to Math. math.hawaii.edu/home/pdf/putnam/PolyaHowToSolveIt.pdf

People aren't here you complicit your laziness, you sub-human piece of shit.

>and can stop bugging people with basic questions.

asking questions is a part of learning.

>don't bug me with basic questions
This is only looking out for #1
Again, be considerate.


A very niche set of people can learn purely through textbooks. Have you ever been in a classroom?

not an argument

>the laziness dismissal.
It's about being considerate you fucking asshole.

You're not entitled to anything, you spoiled fuck.
Fuck off.

Are you trying to say that you shouldn't help people because they're not entitled to it.

what a fucking retarded notion jesus chrst there goes a couple brain cells. This is the most fucking stupid thing I have read on the internet. You should be ashamed to have even concocted such a fucking sentence.

>asking questions is a part of learning.

Asking questions is a part of being fed information. You need to learn to feed yourself. Weaning can be a difficult process, but you will be better for having gone through it.

Fuck off.

no, dude, asking questions is a part of learning. Learning sometimes involves other people. Get over yourself you selfish cunt.

>the absolute state of public discourse.

I help people who have done their research and still can't find the answer. I have no respect for people who have not even read the documentation or even fucking googled their problem and would prefer them dead.

I agree with you user, it's better when someone give you the command and the documentation (for people who want to go further).

There will come a point when other people don't have the answers you seek. If you have neglected to develop your own skills, you will be stuck.

Better to go through the pain of learning how to learn, than to remain a child forever.

It's mostly because answer that simple question is indirectly encouraging the person to keep asking dumb questions that waste time. The person should learn to solve the problem on their own for future use

>Asking questions is a part of being fed information.

>YOU SHOULD REINVENT THE WHEEL WHILE YOU'RE AT IT TOO!!!! :^)

okay that did it. You guys are too retarded.

i'm leaving

Would you be so considerate to kill yourself while you're at it?

This.
Only help those who want to learn and are ready to put in the work.

When you are pointed to the exact part of a manual that would describe everything you need and you don't read it you are a fucking lazy bitch that and you should seriously think about kicking your own ass and do something for what you wanted to achieve or simply do something else. Not everybody has to be in tech. Go and and find some new insect species and name them.
