As someone who dropped put of business school to fix cars for a living, I feel this.

In response to this comment, I went to find the previous post, then came back here to say, noice.

I am angry at myself for actively seeking this one out based on your comment in another meme. Why do I do this to myself.

I did. As someone who is also new to Linux and to programming, I've run into similar hurdles and it is frustrating. Now I'm not trying to build a gaming system, but just something to learn on. I'm still learning to read through and interpret documentation and it often get way too over my head that I need to ask the community for help; and honestly, I don't like to because of reactions like yours.

It's really disheartening to come to the community, try to ask for help and to be told that I should just do it right, or to catch flak for not asking the rifht question, or to have someone share a chunk of code and say, "just use this," which doesn't help me learn.

To be clear, my previous comment was a pre-coffee and just irked me in the wrong way; I do owe you an apology for that so, sorry.

And you, rather than helping someone who admitted that they were new to the community and trying to learn, decided to just be a dick.

If my customer sent me this much detail, I would be a happy tech.

As someone who enjoys quantum mechanics, but papers are too far over my head; and has struggled with a nagging sense that something about all the explanations ~~just wasn't making sense~~, thank you for this beautifully clear explanation of how these conclusions were reached.

So much this. As someone who runs a technical call center, I don't know is an acceptable answer but follow it with a plan to find out!

Another common one that I hear is, "Why do all cars look the same?" The truth of it comes down to two general factors, safety and improving aerodynamics to improve fuel economy.

Probably a lot like the person responsible for dropping the NOAA-19 satellite.
